It was a very well-considered insinuation of the judges, but the young-un stands about A-1 with a prime nigger-feller." "I should like to have 'em try me, to see whether I was a nigger or a white man. It must be a funny law, 'nigger or no nigger. If a feller's skin won't save him, what the devil will?" said the Captain. "Why, show your mother and her generation were white, to be sure!
"Well, I will permit you to do so. Then return to your Sunday task." "I'm goin' to mind him," responded the child.

If that austere dame was not to be propitiated, a line of retreat was open to the barn. "Say," she began, to attract attention. "Vell, young-un," replied Mrs.
You were back in the cockpit by then, and I guess the fellow must have let up on the young-un; for, all at once, he the lad, I mean raked a match along the gunnel, for to take a smoke, d'you see! My word, but the way he was grabbed this time would have shocked you. I couldn't see it, but you could hear the youngster gurgling. That shows it warn't a girl, sir!" "What shows it?

"Patrick, what can she mean?" The doctor shook his head, smiling, "That remains to be discovered." "For the love o' goodness, Miss Julia!" Sarah implored; "the nexest time you sets out to give a party for that there young-un, I hopes and prays you stays home to sup'intend the obsequies youself!" The doctor turned to send Sam on to the barn. "Gingham aprons," Miss Kirby murmured.
"I shore told you, that young-un was a limb," Sarah muttered. "Sarah was very anxious to fix me all up properly, Aunt Julia," Patricia went on, "but of course, after you had said and I thought you'd feel better if the rest wore gingham aprons too.

"A homely young-un often makes handsome old bones," comforted Isa. Now that Joyce was creeping back from the dangers that had beset her, Isa felt a glow of pride and interest.
The conclusion of it appeared to amuse him extremely, for he shook his shoulders and sides in silence, and perked up his thin lips with an air of great internal enjoyment. "So, then, ye'r fairly sewed up, an't ye?" he said; "he! he! he! It's neatly done, too." "This yer young-un business makes lots of trouble in the trade," said Haley, dolefully.
And I tell you now, Marg every one as has wronged that lil' girl will answer to me. Whar is she?" "She she and her young-un are up to Lois Ann's. They've been hid all winter. No one but me knows; you've time to make good before before father and Jed get yo'." Lawson took this like a blow between the eyes.
