I ain't gwine pay no 'tention ter none o' y' all no mo' now tell I git yo' supper ready. Po' little Brindle! Stan' so still, an' ain't say a word. I'm a-fixin' yo' feed now, honey yas, I is!

"Are you hurt, Judy?" demanded Brian, as he lifted the girl to her feet. "Did he strike you?" "He was sure a-fixin' ter lick me somethin' awful when you-all put in," returned the poor girl, trembling with fear. "I know, 'cause he's done hit to me heaps er times before. He's my pap." "Your father!" exclaimed Brian. Judy nodded; then screamed: "Look out! He'll git you, sure!"
An' I kin see, now, that you-all has knowed hit from the start, an' that's why you-all been a-fixin' ter git him away from me. I done studied hit all out last night; but I sure ain't a-goin' ter let you do hit."
Samson said nothing and the older man went on: "They aimed ter run him outen the mountings." "They didn't run him none," blazed the boy. "He didn't never leave the mountings." "No." The family head spoke with the force of a logical climax. "He'd done rented a house down below though, an' was a-fixin' ter move. He staid one day too late. Jesse Purvy hired him shot." "What of hit?" demanded Samson.
"Buford is my name an' I came in to see if I could be of any assistance to you, a-fixin' up yo' mattahs er seein' to anything for you." "Hit's mighty kind o' you to come, dough I don' 'low I'll need much fixin' fu' now." "Oh, we hope you'll soon be better, Sistah Callender." "Nevah no mo', suh, 'til I reach the Kingdom."
"Does that young feller know about fixin' of it?" asked another. "Clap a stopper on your mugs; they're a-fixin' of it now," said old Grinder. "There's the signal! Haul away, lads!" We must explain here that the "whip" above mentioned was a double or endless line, passing through the block which had been hauled out to the wreck by our hero.
But I thought as I looked on it that she kinder lifted her arm some as I had seen my dear pardner lift his up when he wuz a-fixin' a stove pipe overhead; and that long span uniting New York and Brooklyn only brought to me thoughts of the length and strength of that apron-string to which I clung and must cling even though death ensued.
And Josiah sot there a-fixin' his plantin' bag. He wuz a-goin' out that mornin' to plant over some corn that the crows had pulled up. And she bitterly reproved him. But he sez, "If the world don't come to a end, the corn will be needed." "But it will," she sez in a cold, haughty tone. "Wall," sez he, "if it does, I may as well be a-doin' that as to be settin' round."

Aint nobody believe dat. Dey was a-fixin' to bus' on in anyhow, when Miss Allie come out.
