And I don't reckon, suh, that I shall want anyone to talk to me while I'm looking back from the stern of the boat."

But you have already said, suh, that you don’t allow rough breakin’ here." Drew’s half suspicion crystallized into belief.
"Thank'y, suh, thank'y, Mars' Colonel, an' Miss Laura! An' de Lawd is gwine bless you, suh, you an' my sweet young lady, fuh bein' good to po' folks w'at can't do nuthin' to he'p deyse'ves out er trouble," said Catharine backing out with her apron to her eyes.
The despot of Paradise, despot now only by courtesy of the triumphant genius of modernity, put on his eye-glasses and stared Thomas into respectful rigidity.
