There's more ants in this house than there is dollars, a good sight. Betsy B., she's got a plan for keepin' of 'em out by puttin' sassers of brimstone round the shelves, but I told her, s' I, 'THEM ants don't care for no brimstone.

Look like ter me dey wuz fixin' fer a weddin'. Dar sot Ole Miss des ez prim en ez proud ez ef she own de whole county.
I've heard how you used to set out in her dad's backyard, with your arm round her waist, lookin' at each other, mushy as a couple of sassers of hasty-puddin'. Bah! I'll take care my next assistant ain't girl-struck." "Girl-struck! I'd enough sight ruther be girl-struck than always ravin' and rippin' against females.
An' cups and sassers, with a tea-pot 'n' kittle; an' he makes tea himself an' drinks it I swear it's so. An' a guitar, an', Lord, the pictures! You can't see no wall for 'em!
