I'll stuff Jim's clothes full of straw and lay it on his bed to represent his mother in disguise, and Jim 'll take the nigger woman's gown off of me and wear it, and we'll all evade together. When a prisoner of style escapes it's called an evasion. It's always called so when a king escapes, f'rinstance.

She wouldn't be able to do enough for a little dog that 'ad chased 'im out of this very scullery, f'rinstance." We were thrilled by hope. "But where is the burglar?"

Were you kind of nervous, or anything like that, beforehand?" Mr. Genesis again passed a wavering hand across his troubled brow. "I mean," said William, observing his perplexity, "were you sort of shaky f'rinstance, as if you were taking an important step in life?" "Lemme see." The old man pondered for a moment.

Then she finds out the other woman ain't her own mother a-tall, and she swings right back round agin and well, it's got me stumped. Now ef in her place it had 'a' been a man. But a woman oh, shuckin's, whut's the use?"
The English country is a going concern still; just as the Established Church if you'll excuse me saying it, is a going concern. Just as Oxford is or Cambridge. Or any of those old, fine old things.

After dinner he tried to talk business with Eva's husband, or Stell's. His business talks were the old-fashioned kind, beginning: "Well, now, looka here. Take, f'rinstance your raw hides and leathers."
