The stairheid was fu' o' fowk, a' oot in their nicht-goons to see what was ado; but, I can ashure you, when they saw Sandy comin' fleein' up, they shune disappeared. Six policemen cudna scattered them so quick. He came spankin' into my room, an' drappit intil a chair, fair oot o' pech. "Oh, Bawbie, Bawbie!" he cried, "gi'e's a drink. Tak' that umberell," he says, haudin' oot the bell to me.
'Pears I ban't never to graw to love un as I would; an' yet I caan't quite help it when I sees his whole-hearted ferment to put money into my pocket; or when I hears him talk of nitrates an' the ways o' the world; or watches un playin' make-believe wi' the childer himself the biggest cheel as ever laughed at fulishness or wanted spankin' an' putting in the corner."
If the boy was mine I'd give 'im a good spankin' in public, and maybe that ud shame Carrie into behavin' herself." "If I could get you to help I think I could work a change in the thing, anyway," Henley said, persuasively. "Me, Alf?" "Yes, it's just this way, Jim, with a woman of that brand and vintage," Henley pursued.
Come now to bed wid yiz!" "Fill it again," wailed Dick, referring to the pipe. "It's a spankin' I'll give you," replied his guardian, lifting him down from the timber baulks, and then assisting Emmeline, "in two ticks if you don't behave. Come along, Em'line." He started aft, a small hand in each of his, Dick bellowing.
Why, if you wuz my boys I'd give you as good a spankin' as you ever had." But they jest laughed at us, the impudent Greeters. And one of the boys at that minute took up a stick and threw it, and hit Sarah right on her poor old head. Sez Josiah, "Don't you hit Sarah agin." Sez the boys, "We will," and two of 'em hit her at one time. And one of 'em knocked the pipe right out of her mouth.
"What chance?" asked William, when they had come up with him. "The wind, the wind, why, don't you see there's a spankin' breeze? I was afraid we'd lose our sail, so I came to hurry you up." "Hurrah! hurrah!" shouted both the boys together; and without further ado the Captain hurried the little people along with him down through the woods to the water.
I done got a bran', spankin' new allapaca, one time, an' do you think HE ebber seed it? Lawsy, no! We might jes' well be goin' roun' like Mudder Eve for all dat man know." Polly looked disappointed.

Captain Eli was delighted with the arrangements. "Things now seem to be goin' along before a spankin' breeze," said he. "But I don't know about the dinner. I guess you will have to leave that to me.
I'm afraid he's gittin' obstropolous, and I d'no but Christina will have to give him a good spankin' before she gits through. Of course, spankin' a king seems quite a big job to tackle, and of course he's pretty old for it. But it don't do to let children have their heads too much.

Old Bill Fletcher stole his house an' his land an' his money, law or no law that's how I look at it but he couldn't steal his name, an' that's what counts among the niggers, an' the po' whites, too.
