Now dey air po as Job's turkey, dey wants us Dutchmans an po bocras to dhrive oud our meat an' bread so dey kin demselfs git fat at de public crib. But I tells you dis: Schults will haft nodding to do mit dem.

"That is an invitation," said Tim; "do yees foller." "But where will he lead us?" "How can I tell?" "But it may be into danger," admonished the most cautious Howard. "It's the only chance we've got to save ourselves from starving, and for me getting a shmoke out of a pipe, which I am as hungry for as I am for a few pounds of mate."
By the time that I had smoked my pipe out we had neared the barque to within less than half, a mile; and I was momentarily expecting to hear O'Gorman give the order to round-to and lower away the boat wondering, meanwhile, how on earth I could possibly contrive to get my letter conveyed to the skipper when the Irishman came shambling aft and, placing himself at my side, inquired: "Well, misther, have you finished your shmoke?"
"Going to work, to plant the corn, to get food for you and Quanonshet and Madokawandock when the snow falls." "Very kind, clever woman; good frau is mine Keewaygooshturkumkankangewock." "What are you going to do?" asked the wife, as the two passed out the wigwam. "Going to shmoke and meditate meditate hard," replied Hans Vanderbum, impressively. "Can't you think as well while you're fishing?"
Can we ate it, can we dhrink it, can we shmoke it? The small farmers thinks they'll have the land for nothin', but what about the labourers? Everything that's done is done for the farmers, an' the workin' men gets nothin' at all. In England 'tis the workin' men gets all the consideration; but in this counthry 'tis the farmers, an' the workin' men that have no land may hang themselves.
"Not for a Johnny Crapaud like you, and put that in your pipe and shmoke it!" said McGilveray, winking at the big fellow, and spitting on the ground before the surly one, who made a motion as if he would bayonet McGilveray where he sat. "He shall die the cursed English soldier," said Johnny Crapaud. "Some other day will do," said McGilveray. "What does he say?" asked Johnny Crapaud.
Every word the sick man tried to speak cut his chest like a knife, and his eyes half started from his head with the agony of it. The Avocat's heart sank within him, for he saw that a life was hanging in the balance. Not knowing what to do, he tucked in the bedclothes gently. "I do be thinkin'," said the strained, whispering voice "I do be thinkin' I could shmoke."
"Faix, sor," said Macan, noting instantly the doctor's change of mood, and grinning all over his face in consequence, "it wor the Cape shmoke that did it. Sure, it obfusticated me, sor, entirely!"
"Oh, be jabers! ye'd laste expect to find thim where I seed thim." "Well, tell us." "Yes, tell us," said the Doctor. "Well," he hesitatingly said, "be the howly shmoke, the ould chambermaid has thim on, as sure as I'm a loive Irishman!" "Oh, nonsense!" I replied.
"What I hope niver to see again, sorr," said Barney, compressing his lips solemnly. "Six impty chairs, sorr, wid six segyars as hoigh up from the flure as a man's mout', puffin' and a-blowin' out shmoke loike a chimbley! An' ivery oncet in a whoile the segyars would go down kind of an' be tapped loike as if wid a finger of a shmoker, and the ashes would fall off onto the flure!"
