I think I hear my mother's voice a-callin' of me home as I listen to it." Van Dorn, feeling Levin's hands grasp his own with simple confidence, heard and did not turn his head, while blushes like roses bloomed successively upon his fresh, effeminate cheeks. He did not repel the boy's hands, however, but looked at the scene with worldly and unpitying curiosity.
"Once we boys," he said, "went for tote some rice and de nigger-driver he keep a-callin' on us; and I say, 'O, de ole nigger-driver! Den anudder said, 'Fust ting my mammy tole me was, notin' so bad as nigger-driver. Den I made a sing, just puttin' a word, and den anudder word."

If the Lord called me to tackle a whale, I would tackle it, but I hain't had no callin', and I hain't goin' to try to ride out in no whale." "I'm a-callin' you," sez he. "Wall," sez I dryly, "you hain't the Deity no, indeed, fur from it." "Wall," sez he, "I'd love to go, Samantha. What a glorious piece of news to carry back to Jonesville, that we rid out in a whale.
Baverstock, nor yet to Dick, but I shouldn't wonder at all if Tilly Ann was to follow her mother afore very long, pore little maid."
