"Well, sir," said he, "what do you want with me?" Yankee-like, the reply was another question: "You sent a man named Nat Golden into the Union lines, did you not, sir?" "And if I did, what then?" "He is an old friend of mine. He tried for the Union camp to verify information that he had received, but before he started he left certain papers with me in case he should be captured."
"Krane, have you decided about this trip yet?" Uncle Esmond asked. "If not, you'd better get right up into town and forget us. You can't be too quick about it, either." "Ain't we going to stay here a few days? Why do you want to know to-night?" Rex Krane, Yankee-like, met the query with a query.
Brownwell's school any longer?" he asked, instead of replying to his father's question, a Yankee-like way of doing things, truly. "I think the close of this term will complete the education I am able to give you," replied his father. "You will fare, then, better than your brothers, in respect to schooling." "I had rather not go into the shop," said Benjamin.
"The eyes of Wimmoroo were open," said the leader, who, in spite of his assurance, began to feel suspicious that some trick had been played upon them, though, as yet, he could not define its nature.

"What'll you give?" was Hugh's Yankee-like response, while the colonel, struck by Hugh's peculiar manner, settled himself back in his buggy and announced himself ready to trade. Hugh knew he could trust the colonel, and after a moment's hesitation told of his embarrassments, and asked the loan of five hundred dollars, offering Rocket as security, with the privilege of redeeming him in a year.
He was by instinct a rationalist and a foe to superstition in any form, whether in science or religion. His indefatigable pen was as ready to discuss vaccination and yellow fever with Dr. Benjamin Rush as it was to exchange views with Dr. Priestley on the ethics of Jesus. The diversity of Jefferson's interests is truly remarkable. Monticello is a monument to his almost Yankee-like ingenuity.
"That's very Yankee-like, I believe," he said complimentarily. With the brisk friendliness of his nation, the Yankee drew a morocco case from his pocket. "Leonard Madden is my name," he said as he offered a bit of engraved card. The Englishman started to reach inside his coat but paused. "I am Caradoc Smith," he replied gravely.
