I give him credit for that much." "I don't claim any credit," remarked Thompson, with the unconscious spiritual swagger which so often antecedes, and possibly generates, lapse.
"Why shouldn't he write to me?" I asked, tartly. "But but HIM writin' to YOU!" "Humph! Even a god stoops once in a while. Read your mythology, Lute." "Hey? Say, look here, what are you swearin' about?" "Swearing? Oh, that's all right. The god I referred to was a heathen one." "Well, it's a good thing Dorindy didn't hear you; she's down on swearin', heathen or any other kind. But what did Mr.

"If mother can persuade Jerrold to take the pledge as I did, and knock off drinkin' and swearin', will you take him back?" "With all my heart, Tom; and any help I or my wife can give your mother in such a good work, we'll do it with the greatest pleasure."

"It's trooth to say Bill an' Jim certainly conducts themse'fs scand'lous. The epithets they heaps on that pore ignorant rattlesnake, the taunts they flings at him, would have done Apaches proud.
"This mornin' the Captains 's bin going down so fast that I couldn't keep track of 'em, till Capt. McGillicuddy was the only one left, an' he's swearin' that the rebels never run no bullet that could hit him.
