Don't you want to wait here, jest a little while, till I come back? The's a consid'able nice saddle 'n' bridle on a dead boss that's layin' daown there in the road 'n' I guess the' a'n't no use in lettin' on 'em spite, so I'll jest step aout 'n' fetch 'em along.
"I'm satisfied," he said, and he took the saddle and bridle from his horse and turned the animal into the little log stable. "Hain't you goin' to feed 'im?" she asked, hospitably, as he was closing the door; "the's some fodder overhead, an' the corn is in re'ch through the crack above the trough." "Not yet," he returned; "I fed him some shelled corn at the shop.
He paused, and his eye looked back over many years. Then, with a very different tone, he added: "And that Jack Falstaff there must have seen her, now I think on't." "Only once, sir," said Quin, "and I was but ten years old." "He saw her once, and he was ten years old; yet he calls Woffington a great comedian, and my son The's wife, with her hatchet face, the greatest tragedian he ever saw!
He shouldered his way through the crowd in the heedless manner of most bulky men, who seldom realize how much space they take that properly belongs to others. At six feet from the golden horse he halted, and surveyed him with shining eyes. "Sunnysides, eh?" he said, turning toward the nearest of the strangers. "The's only one," replied the cow-puncher. "Who caught him this time?" "Us three.
The's got to be some money raised, an' I'm ready, I says, 'to put down as much as you be up to a couple o' hunderd, an' I'll take the paper 'round to the rest; but, I says, unfoldin' it, 'I think you'd ought to head the list, an' I'll come next.

Of the's he found as great a swarm as if they had been the bees themselves with which the little song was concerned. Busy was scarce; I am not sure whether he found it at all; but he looked at it until he was pretty sure he should know it again when he saw it.
Well, in this case V is the letter which comes oftenest there are fourteen of them so V is E. Then, when you know what E is, you search for the word 'the. There are certain to be several 'the's' in the piece; so you look for instances in which the same two letters come before E, or, in this case, before V. Well, here it is, G S V, five times; so you are pretty certain that G S V is 'the, or, in other words, that G is T, S is H, and V is E. That's as far as I've got at present; but I mean to worry out the rest of it to-morrow."
Outside, the starlight give us a purty fair aim, while they couldn't do more than guess at us so we beat 'em off once more. "The's only three shots in this gun," sez Monody, cheerfully, as he handed my iron back to me. "What's that?" sez Jabez. "We're about out o' fuel, Jabez," sez I. I heard him grit his teeth in the darkness. "Where is she, Happy?" sez he.

"The's the Eagle, an' the Lake House, an' Smith's Hotel," replied Jehu. "Which would you recommend?" asked John. "Wa'al," said Robinson, "I don't gen'ally praise up one more'n another. You see, I have more or less dealin' with all on 'em."
But instead of writing it clown, the man merely stared at him, while the fat creases in his face deepened and deepened. Finally he put down his quill, and indulged in a gale of laughter, hugely to Mr. Brice's discomfiture. "Shucks!" said the fat man, as soon as he could. "What are you givin' us? That the's a Yankee boa'din' house."
