Aunt Polly she turns around slow and severe, and says: "You, Tom!" "Well WHAT?" he says, kind of pettish. "Don t you what ME, you impudent thing hand out them letters." "What letters?" "THEM letters. I be bound, if I have to take a-holt of you I'll " "They're in the trunk. There, now. And they're just the same as they was when I got them out of the office.
"A nigger can give evidence against a nigger, and it's all right," says another voice which it come from a feller that had a-holt of my wrist on the left-hand side of me "but these are white men we are going to try to-night. The case is too serious to take nigger evidence. Besides, I reckon we got all the evidence any one could need.
Stripped of their harness, the wild team turned and made off at a run down the road, through the gate and back to their own home. "Good riddance," said Sim Gage, stooping, his hands at his cut knee-cap. "Wid can come over here fer his own buckboard, fer all of me." "Take right a-holt of my arm tight, and go easy now," he added, turning to Mary Warren. She felt his hand on her arm.
The Golden Hind has got to call at Loango, anyhow; there's a spare room in her cabin that'll be empty if you don't fill it; and while you're a big man and look to be rather extra hearty, I reckon you won't eat more'n about twenty dollars' worth of victuals counting 'em at cost on the whole run. But the main thing is that I want all the spot cash I can get a-holt of before I start.
The man that had a-holt of me was very good to me, and kept saying he had a boy about as big as me that died last year, and he was sorry to see a boy in such a dangerous fix; and when they was all took by surprise by finding the gold, and made a rush for the coffin, he lets go of me and whispers, 'Heel it now, or they'll hang ye, sure! and I lit out.

His foot swelled up pretty big, and so did his leg; but by and by the drunk begun to come, and so I judged he was all right; but I'd druther been bit with a snake than pap's whisky. Jim was laid up for four days and nights. Then the swelling was all gone and he was around again. I made up my mind I wouldn't ever take a-holt of a snake-skin again with my hands, now that I see what had come of it.
Look how tender he's rowin'. I'll lay my wage and share he's the only man stung up to-day an' he's stung up good." "What'll sting him?" said Harvey, getting interested. "Strawberries, mostly. Pumpkins, sometimes, an' sometimes lemons an' cucumbers. Yes, he's stung up from his elbows down. That man's luck's perfectly paralyzin'. Naow we'll take a-holt o' the tackles an' hist 'em in.

I got a-holt of old White's hitch-strap and my boot; then I cantered out and hitched up, and went along the road real lively.
