"I had rather have a full hour of hot fightin' than such idleness, when we know that soon the bullets will be whistlin' around our ears," Jacob replied, and just then John Sammons came up, as he said: "I reckon they're goin' to bring their siege-guns with 'em this time.
Shorty had joined in the scramble, telling Si he would bring him a good supply. "Ain't them nice?" he said to Si, holding out three or four of the greenest ones he could find. "Eat 'em; they're jest gorjus! You can't help likin' 'em." Si had never seen any persimmons before.
"Why, Margaret!" exclaimed Nan, in horror. "How you talk!" "Wal, it's so. I don't like old, wizzled-up folks, I don't, now I tell ye!" "That sounds awfully cruel," said Nan, soberly.

So we come on here and settled in the Cove. "And so I like yuh," said Marthy, in a tone that was half defiance, "because I can't help likin' yuh.
