I had a nap for two or three hours, but waked at six, an ever sence I've been a worretin an a frettin about youns. Sence that thar accident, I can't bar to have you out of my sight, for I fear all the time that you ar gettin into mischief. An now I've been skeart for two mortal hours, a fancyin you all tumblin down from the cliffs, or a strugglin in the waters."
I've got a dreadful talent for doin the pariential, an what's more, not only for doin the pariential, but for feelin of it.

You mind the time when that boat, that thar i-dentical, individdle boat, drifted away onst afore, with youns in it. You remember all about that, course. Well, look at me. Did I mourn? Did I fret? Was I cast down?
