Git right out, you loafin' bum, an' fetch 'em in, an' then get the muck off'n your face, an' clean this doggone shack up. I'd sure say you was a travelin' hospital o' disease by the look of you. I'm payin' you a wage and a heap good one, so git out an' I'll see to that darn milk." Argument was out of the question, so Sunny adopted the easier course of obedience to his employer's orders.
In a short time after, I lost the greater number o' my sheep in a storm, which prevented me frae payin my Candlemas rent. But mony a man loses his wife, and mony a shepherd his sheep, without tellin a doctor o' their loss.
Old Aleck wanted to know if I ever heard of anybody buyin' a dog before, because, of course, even a Newfoundland or a setter you can usually get somebody to give you one. He says he saw some sense in payin' a nigger a dime, or even a quarter, to drown a dog for you, but to pay out fifty dollars and maybe more well, sir, he like to choked himself to death, right there in my office!

"Good houses is better'n shanties, ain't they?" "Of course they're better, but that's just it. We can't none of us pay any more rent than we're payin' now; so what'll he do about it?" "Who?"
You will be well paid for what you have done for me." The skipper could make little enough of this talk of singing before the Queen; but he understood the mention of making payment for his services, and his bitter pride flared up. He gripped the edge of the hammock roughly. "Would ye be payin' me for this?" he questioned. "Would ye, I say? Nay, not ye nor the Queen herself! I have money enough!
