He was a drefful drinkin' old crittur, that lived there all alone in the woods by himself a-tendin' saw and grist mill. He wasn't allers jest what he was then. Time was that Cack was a pretty consid'ably likely young man, and his wife was a very respectable woman, Deacon Amos Petengall's dater from Sherburn.
Ce sejour dans des milieux si differents laissa dans son esprit une double impression qui se refleta sur toute sa vie. 'Peu de personnes, de nos jours, ont aussi bien connu que lui cette charmante et originale societe de Geneve, qui semblait dater du dix-huitieme siecle, et qui en a si longtemps conserve les traditions.
This is how it read: "judg lemond yer Dater iz wel and in Gud hans. You must gib 1000 dollars in Gold and She wil kum hum put Mony in Holler Tre whar Riber Bens 4 mile belo bridge-water nex Mundy Eve. If de Man Who Kums for de Gold gits shot or tuk yer Dater wil dy. "Sind Po Wite." Judge LeMonde was some time deciphering the note.
Phyllis had thought she expected it, but when the call came to her over the library telephone she found herself as badly frightened as she had been the first time she went to the Harrington house. She shivered as she laid down the dater she was using, and called the other librarian to take her desk.
But the apothecary, who perhaps had more penetration or less partiality than his wife and daughter, differed from them in their sentiments of the matter, and expressed himself to me in the shop in this manner: "Ah mon pauvre Roderique! you have more of de veracite dan of de prudence bot mine vife and dater be diablement sage, and Monsieur le Capitaine un fanfaron, pardieu!"
He hab a wife already, as I do surely know, Who weeps for his return to de O-hi-o. "Man, I have dis purse of gold, half of it for ye; Woman, I hab ne'er a wife in Ken-tuck-y; Your dater is my only lub, so pridee let us go To where my corn is ripening on de O-hi-o. "De fader weighed de purse, he took his half wid glee, De modor said her child might go to Ken-tuck-y.
And will you nebber leave me, if I consent to go To your shanty by de stream of de O-hi-o? "Her fader's not asleep, and he will not agree, Dat you take away his dater to Ken-tuck-y. So alone by yourself; good hunter, you must go, Where the Ingin's rifle cracks on de O-hi-o. "Your moder, too, is near, aldough you did not see, And wid her leave you nebber go to Ken-tuck-y.

I thrust my hands into my pockets, and in one pocket encountered the cheque-hook and the dater and the pen, and in the other pocket the gold money and the paper money. There was the wherewithal to settle his pitiful account a few score of times and over why hadn't he given me a chance? There was no explanation; it was merely the inconceivable and monstrous.
In one pocket I carried a cheque-book, a fountain-pen, a dater, and a blotter; in another pocket I carried between one and two thousand dollars in paper money and gold. I was ready for the creditors, cash for the small ones and cheques for the large ones, and was waiting only for Roscoe to arrive with the balances of the accounts of the hundred and fifteen firms who had delayed me so many months.
