Turkle, and in answer to the warning of those about him, he declared in a maudlin tone, that he "Warn't goin' to keep silence." "I got 's much right to talk 's anyone, and I'ma goin' to talk 's much 's I please." His friends tried to silence him, and the Sheriff made his way through the crowd and endeavored to induce him to leave the court-room. But it was to no purpose.
I kissed her warmly right there in China and promised to make her a all day's visit soon as I got home, I'm lottin' on't.

I was in dis very room; but I hadn't lighted up de lamps, so I was in 'parative darkness, and de big hall was in 'parative light; so dey couldn't see me, but I could see dem, when dey come into de big hall, her and my lordship.

"He 's drunk himself I don't mean that, I mean you 're drunk oh, no I mean I'm drunk. Everybody 's drunk." "Yes, you 've gone and called me a drunkard before the Court. Now I 'm goin' to show you."

But, bless grashus! sech a racket wuz a gwine on dat nobody ain't hear it, 'ceppin' maybe de Mud Turkle en de Spring Lizzud, en dere enfloons wuz pow'ful lackin'.
