"Good morning." "Mornin', suh." "Will you tell me where I can find Mr. Fetters?" inquired the colonel. "No, suh, unless he's at the house. He may have went away this mornin', but I haven't heard of it. But you drive along the road to the house, an' somebody'll tell you." The colonel seemed to have seen the overseer before, but could not remember where.
"What!" exclaimed Kingozi sharply. "Why did you not start men for them when you first awakened?" She smiled at him ruefully. "I tried. But they said they were very tired from yesterday. They would not go." "Simba!" called Kingozi. "Suh!" "Bring the headman of Bibi-ya-chui. Is he that mop-headed blighter?" he asked her. "Who? Oh, the Nubian, Chake. No; he is just a faithful creature near myself.
Come up here where you can get a view of Fairfax, suh!" and by the time I had mounted the steps he was leaning over the railing, with Fitz on the one side and the agent on the other, sweeping the horizon with his index finger and drawing imaginary curves and building bridges and locating railroad stations in the air with as much confidence and hope as if he really saw the gangs of laborers at work across the fields, their shovels glinting in the dazzling sunlight.
He well knew that Colonel Carvel would not descend to ask an inferior concerning the conduct of a superior. "Oh no, suh. And I ain't sayin' nuthin' gin his honesty.

Yes, suh, an' den when he GIT to be ole man, he say, 'What become o' dat young man I yoosta be? Where is dat young man agone to?
"Yes, suh. How d' y' like it? Wouldn' y' like t' live in dat house, suh?" the commodore grinned. "One can't stay there long enough to please me, uncle. It takes four years to get used to it; and then, when you begin to like it, you have to pack up and clear out." "It's de way dey goes, suh. We go eroun' Lafayette, er do yuh want t' see de Wa' Depa'tment, suh?"
If the people of Lattimore sit supinely, suh, and let these country villages steal from huh the queenship which God o'dained fo' huh when He placed huh in this commandin' site, then, suh, they ah too base to be wo'thy of the suhvices of gentlemen." "I've always been taught," said Mrs. Trescott, "that the credit of placing her in this site belonged to either Mr. Hinckley or General Lattimore."
I have faith in those eyes of his, suhs." "But that is scarcely fair, sir, when I am risking nothing," I protested. "Go ahead, suh; go ahead," he urged. "It is just a sporting proposition foh general entertainment." "And I'll bet you a dollar on the side that you don't spot the ace," the dealer baited. "Come now. Make it interesting for yourself."

I ain't afeard of seein' folks suffer. Tom will tell you that." "That she ain't, suh," agreed Tom with pride.
