Now Sim Squires, mounted on a swift pacing mare, fell in beside Aaron, his knee rubbing the knee of the grizzled wayfarer, and Sim said impressively: "Hit looks right bodaciously like es ef ther war's goin' ter bust loose ergin, Aaron." The other turned level eyes upon his informant and swept him up and down with a searching gaze. "Who give ye them tidin's, son?
"I don't keer a frog's toe-nail ef the whole settle-mint burns bodaciously up; 'tain't nuthin ter me.

"The man, though he never war in the mountings afore, knows ez much about 'em ez ef he hed bodaciously built 'em. Fairly smelt that thar cave over t' other side the ridge jes' now, I reckon; else how'd he know 't war thar?"

"I wuz at yo' house las' night, Brer Remus," remarked Brer John Henry, "but I couldn't roust you outer bed." "Hit was de unseasonableness er de hour, I speck," said Uncle Remus, dryly.
