I only know what I don't want," Miriam kept on brightly and as if uttering some happy, beneficent truth. "I don't want a person who takes things even less simply than I do myself. Mr. Sherringham, poor man, must be very uncomfortable, for one side of him's in a perpetual row with the other side. He's trying to serve God and Mammon, and I don't know how God will come off.
"Oh, yes, but, slinging names at him's not much use," he said. "Well, I feel it in me that we're going to see more of that man by and by, and that's just why I'm working up the whole thing from the beginning. Now I'll show you some more of it." They floundered through one or two thickets until Okanagan stopped again, and pointed to the red smear upon the fern and withered pine-needles.
"How much of him's above ground?" he asked. Then, I grieve to say, Thompson let himself out. No puerile repetition; no slovenly, slipshod work there.

He'll never disguise that look of that wicked eye of his from them as knows him well; and though he's got summat in his mouth to make him talk different, I could tell the twang of his ugly voice anywheres." "Well, Jim?" "Ah, but it ain't well, Thomas, I'm sorry to say: there's mischief, you may be sure, when the like of him's about.
Even the flies didn't pester him's they done Billy, for he on'y said, when he felt 'em bitin' and crawlin', "Dog-days is come," says he, "for here's the flies worse and worse. So the summer's most over, and I'll get there in a jiffy now." "What am I stoppin' for," do you say, 'Miry? 'Cause that's all. You needn't make sech a fuss, child'en.

"DEAR SALLY, The Toronto baseball team is on the top of the heap again, and all the rest of the bunch is laying around like old tin cans waiting for the garbage man to collect them. Looks like the pennant for us. I'm half crazy about the team, so's Tommy Watson, and the other half of him's bughouse about Flo Dearmore, so he's a rare subject. "Lucien's all right now.

"Why did you stop us?" glowered Joel, wrathfully, turning his bloody little nose up in scorn. "I could 'a' done that to him's easy as not, if you'd let me." Mrs. Green stamped her ample shoe on the ground.
"But," said Zulu, "kin you cook a 'tater widout makin' him's outside all of a mush, an' him's inside same so as a stone?"
