I'd been tinkin' 'bout Vilet, but I didn't like de suggestin ob her leabin' you to do so much, ob de work. But go ahead, Sissy; go ahead, Vilet, an' you'll fin' me easy goin' at meal times." "Come here, Vilet," said the minister. The girl had been sitting on the floor at Aun' Sheba's feet, listening quietly and intelligently to all that had been said.
"Gone," groaned Wilson. "But within the hour. I want you to help me find them." "Like huntin' fer a loose dory in th' dark, ain't it?" "Yes, but you'd hunt even for your dory, wouldn't you?" "Right, m' boy, an' I ain't suggestin' thet yer change yer course, only these seas are uncharted fer me. But how'd she git outern yer hands once yer had her?" "Oh, I was a fool, Stubbs.
"They might prove interesting reading, that's a fact," drawled Racey. "Now I ain't suggestin' anything," pursued Judge Dolan. "I couldn't on account of my oath. But it ain't so Gawd-awful far from Farewell to Marysville." "It ain't too far." "I got a notion Luke Tweezy will find important business to keep him here in Farewell the next four or five days."
She divided a glance between them, to be shared as they would. "But as I was suggestin' ma'am why not attend the sale and outbid the fellow?" "So I can, of course: and so I will, perhaps. Still it's not pleasant to live by a neighbour who thinks he can walk in and hector you, just because you're a woman." "You want protection: that's what you want," observed 'Bias fatuously.
We ain't into de shank ob de ebenin' yet, an' dar's no 'casion to talk 'bout folks goin'." "I dun said nothin' 'bout folks goin'," complained Uncle Sheba in an aggrieved tone, "I was ony a suggestin' wot 'ud be 'propriate ter de 'casion fore dey go." "Mr. Buggone is right, and prar is always 'propriate," said Mr. Birdsall in order to preserve the serenity of the occasion.
Don't get the barometer fallin'. I was only suggestin', you know. What do you think, Bos'n?" "Why, Uncle Cyrus, I don't believe I should like red very much; nor the other colors, either. I like this just as it is." "So? Well, you're the doctor. Maybe you're right. I wouldn't want you to look like a barber's pole. Don't love Tad Simpson enough to want to advertise his business."

She even smiled faintly, and the smile made Buck's face once more grow very hot. His voice went hard. "For the last time, I'm askin' if you'll go up to the cabin." There was both wonder and contempt in her smile. In an instant he was in his saddle.
"An' fwhat has happened, ye lumberin' child av calamity, that you're lowing like a cow-calf at the back av the pasture, an' suggestin' invidious excuses for the man Stanley's goin' to kill. Ye'll have to wait another hour yet, little man. Spit it out, Jock, an' bellow melojus to the moon. It takes an earthquake or a bullet graze to fetch aught out av you. Discourse, Don Juan!
Ellen's been telling me how you're fixed, Mary Bell," she went on with deep concern, "and I was suggestin' that you run over to the general store, and ask Mis' Rowe or I should say, Mis' Bates," she corrected herself with a grin, and the girls laughed "if she won't sleep at your house tonight.

The other night, down at camp, some son of Balaam was suggestin' that ye might be sellin' the Boss out to Jack and lettin' him tak' the trees secretly, and nobody wad ever ken till the gang gets here." A wave of scarlet flooded Freckles' face and he blazed hotly at the insult.
