I ain't told you my plan, Miss Hollis, and there ain't many I shall tell; but this rug is going to be a kind of a hist'ry of my life and Lovey's wrought in together, just as we was bound up in one another when she was alive. Her things and mine was laid in one trunk, and the moths sha'n't cheat me out of 'em altogether.
"I was expecting the boat would come with the meat every minute, sir." "Is there no beef at all on board?" "Only the wardroom and gunroom supply." "Then serve that out at once to the men they sha'n't go without their dinner if I can help it." "But, sir, what will the officers do?"

I sha'n't tell my reasons for making this inquiry; but I beseech you to explain, if you can, what I have married: that is, when you call to see me; and you must call, Ellen, very soon. Don't write, but come, and bring me something from Edgar. Now, you shall hear how I have been received in my new home, as I am led to imagine the Heights will be.
John won't find me I'll take care of that. But if I'm not fit for decent people to touch there's plenty like me. I'll not cringe to anybody I'll go where I'm welcome. So now you understand, don't you what I wanted to ask you?" "No indeed I don't," cried Marcia, in distress. "And you won't you sha'n't do anything so mad! Please please, be patient! I'll go again to Mr. Newbury.
"Of course we sha'n't, Maria Atkins," interposed Abby, "and it won't be fitting we should. It won't be best for Ellen to associate with shop-girls when she's going to Vassar College." But Ellen had cast an impetuous arm around a neck of each. "If ever I do such a thing as that!" said she. "If ever I turn a cold shoulder to either of you for such a reason as that! What's Vassar College to hearts?
The scuffling noise continued, and their there was a loud panting, a cry of "Oh!" and my companion staggered by me. "Shock!" I cried. "Oh! I say," he groaned, "I've got it all in my eyes agen.

Yo' sha'n't whop 'im; he b'longs to me, an' ef you hit 'im another lick I'll set 'im free! "I wish yo' hed see ole marster. Marse Chan he warn' mo'n eight years ole, an' dyah dey wuz ole marster stan'in' wid he whop raised up, an' Marse Chan red an' cryin', hol'in' on to it, an' sayin' I b'longst to 'im.
She did not answer, going off, at first softly, then with increasing vehemence into convulsions of laughter that shook her from head to foot. He clasped her close in his arms and held her to him, smoothing her rough curls and whispering: "Steady on, Esther dear! It's all over now. You're safe with me; I sha'n't let anything happen to you!"
This rather shocked Katie, but she did not see her way out of the difficulty, and mentally resolved to "ask mother": that way out of all difficulties which is first to suggest itself to a young girl's mind. "There is the sun setting," said Tessa. "It must be ever so late. I sha'n't get any supper; they never keep anything for us at our boarding-house."

"Then, when I throw decorum overboard, it sha'n't be in company with you, Mr Rubb." "We were always taught to think that cards were objectionable." "You were told they were the devil's books, I suppose," said Miss Todd.
