She's a leetle too dressy, and I'm most afraid will set the young folks here an example of extravagance; but I believe she means well, and expects to do her whole duty." "Well, I shall wait for her works to prove her disposition," said Mrs. Swan.
"Yes, Rome; hit wasn't no use. She says Steve's word's as good as yourn; 'n' she knowed about the crosses.

"You air gittin' a leetle too peart, boy. I don't want that gal a- runnin' around in the woods all day." Jason met his angry eyes with a new spirit. "I reckon you hain't been hyeh long." The shot went home and the mountaineer glared helpless for an answer.
