"'Promotin' a sepulcher in this rock-ribbed landscape, says French, as Jack Moore comes up, kind o' apol'gisin' for his profane voylence at Old Monte; 'framin' up a tomb, I say, in this yere rock-ribbed landscape ain't no child's play, an' I'm not allowin' none for that homicide Monte to put no sech tasks on me. He knows the Wolfville roole.
Havin' neither brands nor y'earmarks to guide by, I never recognizes this person as your invalid at all; none whatever. I'd shore bent a gun on him an' harassed him back into his lair, as you requests, if I suspects his identity. To show I'm on the squar', Doc, I'll do this party any voylence, even at this late hour, which you think will make amends.
He wheeled and flung up his hand as if to check some hidden movement of Willie's. "No voylence yet, Will! What d'you mean, Mr. Speed?" Speed uttered what he knew was his final joke on earth. "I mean that I refuse to run straightaway. I'm an all-around athlete, and I must run all around something."

"'An' I reckons now, says Dan Boggs, 'you severs your relations with the war? "'No, goes on the Major; 'I keeps up my voylence to the close. When I grows robust enough to ride ag'in I'm in Texas.
Sech bein' Jerry's work habits I'm prepared to overlook a heap of moral deeficiencies an' never lays it up ag'in Jerry that he's morose an' repellant when I flings him any kindnesses. "But while I don't resent 'em none by voylence, still Jerry has habits ag'inst which I has to gyard. You-all recalls how long ago I tells you of Jerry's, bein' a thief.

During one breathless instant the wizened man stood as if disbelieving his ears, the enormity of the insult robbing him of speech and motion. Then he uttered a snarl, and Stover was barely in time to intercept the backward fling of his groping hand. "No voylence, Willie! There's ladies present."
I breathed an' lived with but one ambition, which is to tear this devoted country in two in the middle an' leave the fragments that a- way, in opposite fields. My father, stern, ca'm, c'llected, don't share the voylence of my sentiments. He took the middle ag'in the ends for his. The attitoode of our state is that of nootrality, an' my father declar'd for nootrality likewise.

As to this person, who's so full of stealthy cunnin', he's all right. So long as he don't get no licker, no voylence is called for in his case. An' with that Peets conducts his patient, who's come to ag'in, back to his reservation.
"'I takes it you're the old he-coon of this yere outfit? says the Red Dog man, soopercillious-like. "'Which, if I ain't, says Enright, 'it's plenty safe as a play to let your wisdom flow this a-way till the he-coon gets yere.
