Aunt Sally she was just a-ripping and a-tearing around, and the children was huddled in one corner, and the old man he was huddled in the other and praying for help in time of need.
Why didn't I stay on it, the blathering lunatic by George, when I heard that racket and looked up that hill it was just like the whole world was a-ripping and a-tearing down that mountain side splinters, and cord-wood, thunder and lightning, hail and snow, odds and ends of hay stacks, and awful clouds of dust! trees going end over end in the air, rocks as big as a house jumping 'bout a thousand feet high and busting into ten million pieces, cattle turned inside out and a-coming head on with their tails hanging out between their teeth! and in the midst of all that wrack and destruction sot that cussed Morgan on his gate-post, a-wondering why I didn't stay and hold possession!

"Why, they rub an old tin lamp or an iron ring, and then the genies come tearing in, with the thunder and lightning a-ripping around and the smoke a-rolling, and everything they're told to do they up and do it. They don't think nothing of pulling a shot-tower up by the roots, and belting a Sunday-school superintendent over the head with it or any other man." "Who makes them tear around so?"
"On the 1st August he sold the buggy and bought the remains of an old sulky said he just wanted to see those green Tennesseans stare and gawk when they saw him come a-ripping along in a sulky didn't believe they'd ever heard of a sulky in their lives.
But Tom was aboard by this time, and he started the balloon up a little, and stopped it again as soon as the end of the ladder was ten or twelve feet above ground.
