By granny, I'm going to plug m' ears good with cotton when it comes off he-he! 'Nother bottle of pop, James." "Who's running the show, Polycarp?"

Polycarp twisted his slit of a mouth knowingly, and closed one slit of an eye to assist the facial elucidation.
About half-way across the clearing were half a dozen long logs scattered about. "They're thinkin' to make them logs an' while hid by their boughs yank 'em together to make a breastwork. Then they'll pepper us while 'nother party rushes in close. New party will pelt us while the first makes a run to git ag'in' the walls where we can't damage 'em from the loopholes.
"Don't see what Mas'r St. Clare wants of 'nother nigger!" said Dinah, surveying the new arrival with no friendly air. "Won't have her around under my feet, I know!"

"Then you had better try somebody else," said Stormont, smiling. "It's possible that all you can tell me isn't worth five dollars." "I'll show you! Gimme a hundred now and 'nother drink." "Take fifty, or I quit," said Stormont, who passed him the bottle. Drummond drained his glass. "You're mean, but I gotter make a start. Where's the bills?"
"Oh, dagont, dagont!" he would cry in ecstasy over these fair scenes, and she, awed or gurgling with mirth according to the nature of the last, demanded "'Nother, 'nother!" whereat he remembered who and what she was, and showing her a morsel of the new one, drew her to more distant parts, until they were so far from his street that he thought she would never be able to find the way back.
One of the foremost of the unarmed group grinned. "This here must be Skyrider Jewel, boys, no mistake about that he's running true to form. 'Nother elopement only this time he's went and eloped with a spy, he claims." "Here comes the leatherneck. You'll wish you hadn't of lit, Skyrider. You'll be shot at sunrise for this, sure!" "You know it! It's a firing squad for yours, allrighty!"
Fust went up his knowin' little head, that had no ears; and he tried to jump up and rear out of it, as he used to did out of a mire hole or honey pot ashore; but there was no bottom there; nothin' for his hind foot to spring from; so down he went agin ever so deep: and then he tried t'other eend, and up went his broad rump, that had no tail; but there was nothin' for the fore feet to rest on nother; so he made a summerset, and as he went over, he gave out a great long end wise kick to the full stretch of his hind legs.
W'y, dey done move out dis mawn, right f'um dis ve'y house you stan'in in front de gate of.

I always wanted a boy of my own. Nellie's a good girl, no better afloat or ashore, but she is a girl. George is a good feller, too, but somehow, or 'nother, I'd come to think of you as the kind of son I'd have had, if the Almighty had give me one. Oh, what did you do this for?" I could not answer. He had overwhelmed me. I never felt meaner or more wicked.
