"I'll tell you what it is, my dear," he says one day; "if you persewere in this here sort of amusement," he says, "I'm blessed if I don't go away to 'Merriker; and that's all about it."

S. Annie and her children, of course, had the first one, and then the minister had one, and one of the trustees in the neighborhood had another; so we lengthened out into quite a crowd, all a-follerin' the shiny hearse, and the casket all covered with showy plated nails. I thought of it in jest that way, for Wellington, I knew, the real Wellington, wuzn't there.
If you try to get up this pistol may go off." "Has yo' been a-follerin' me?" "Never mind. We have found you and you are our prisoner," put in Shep. "Huh! Does yo' t'ink I'se afraid ob foah boys!" "Well, do you want to be shot?" asked Snap, holding the pistol on a level with the colored man's head. "Stop!" screamed the rascal. "Don't do dat! It might go off!" "Then you keep quiet."

You will be a noble and happy hunter.
"It isn't my fault, is it?" asked the boy, indifferently. "You're a-follerin' in his steps. You'll be just another Joel Barton just as shif'less and lazy. Just split me some wood before I get hold of yer!" Abner rose slowly, went to the shed for an ax, and in the most deliberate manner possible began to obey his mother's commands.
YOU ain't goin' to wear white gowns and trail 'em up an' down on the grass, nor 'ave big dogs a-follerin' up an' down while you sings in a furrin langwidge to yerself; no, not if you was to read all the trashy story-books in the world so you needn't think it.
Says father to me, 'Sam, says he, 'you seed the crowd a-follerin' the winnin' horse, when we came there, didn't you? 'Yes sir, said I, 'I did. 'Well, when colt beat him, no one follered him at all, but come a-crowdin' about HIM. That's popularity, said he, 'soon won, soon lost cried up sky high one minute, and deserted the next or run down; colt will share the same fate.
I whirled about to face Von Gerhard; a strangely boyish and unprofessional looking Von Gerhard. "Young man," I said severely, "have you been a-follerin' of me?" "For miles," groaned he, as we shook hands. "You walk like a grenadier. I am sent by the charming Norah to tell you that you are to come home to mix the salad dressing, for there is company for supper. I am the company."
"You're a queer lot," he said. "Marks an' that club-footed Malan comes along away before day an' wants their breakfast, an' gits it, an' lights out like the devil was a-follerin' 'em. An' when I asked 'em what they'd been doin', they up an' says they'd been fixin' lay-overs to ketch meddlers an' make fiddlers' wives ask questions.
She had one of her forgetful spells come right on her, a sort of a stupor, I guess, a-follerin' on after a bein' too wild and crazy about gittin' her way. And anyway, year after year passed, and no monument wuz raised, not a sign of one. She lied, and she didn't seem to care if she had lied.
