There was little fear that the navigator of the captured Osprey, the man who had lived in Chile and "cut out" cattle on the Carrum Plains, would prove lacking in knowledge of riding, seamanship, or Spanish customs. Moreover, he had determined upon a course of action which showed his knowledge of human nature.
All that the inhabitants think about are the King, the Queen Regent, yachts, bull fights, and the latest fashions in trousers. San Sebastian is a conglomeration of parvenus and upstarts from Pamplona, Saragossa, Valladolid, Chile and Chuquisaca, who are anxious to show themselves off.
Crompton, and how did he know about the child? I asked, and Jake replied, 'He is somebody from the Norf, and he'd sent money to Mas'r Hardy in Palatka for Miss Dory, who put it away for de chile. After she died Mas'r Hardy was gwine to Europe, an' tole me 'twas Col. Crompton, Troutburg, Massachusetts, who sent the money, but he wouldn't say nothin' else, 'cept that Col.

Of course haven't we been eating them?" "Yo' won't neveh eat dis yere kind o' dead pig, Miss Jinny. It's it's a ha'nt!" The murder was out. Cookie leaned against a cocoa-palm and wiped his ebon brow.
You mustn't go down dar and look at dat gashly objeck, honey. 'Cause no tellin' what de quoncequinces mightn't be. Now mind what your ole Aunt Katie say to you, honey, and turn back like a good chile."
Drake held up a couple of rabbits and three wild fowl. "Oh! de gorry all dem! well, dis chile nebber sees de like; an you'se gwine ter gib dem ter Clump agin 'spects so, all you'se don't want. De ole niggers be rich dis winter."
"Yo' put yo' min' on yo' roas' lamb, honey," Calvin suggested. "How-cum you got late?" "That chile kep' me fixin' that pink dress. She ain' never cyard what she wo'. And now she stan' in front o' dat lookin'-glass an' fuss an' fiddle.
One evidence of this new nationalism was a widespread belief in the necessity of territorial expansion.
