"I don't reckon that Ten Spot will change his mind a-tall. He'll sure come down here to shoot you!" "That relieves me," returned Hollis dryly. "Now you go home. But," he warned, "don't tell anyone that I am scared." For an instant the boy looked at Hollis critically, searching his face with all a boy's unerring judgment for signs which would tell of insincerity.
Bob grew very busy extricating a cockle burr from the mane of the buckskin. "I'll never forget what you've done for me, Mr. Haines," he murmured, beet red. "Sho! Nothin' a-tall. I'm always lookin' for to get a chance to onload advice on some one. Prob'ly I was meant to be a grandma an' got mixed in the shuffle. Well, boy, don't weaken. When in doubt, hop to it." "Yes, sir. I'll try."
The native of the tangled hills casually waved aside the distinction of terms as a triviality and went on: "I hain't nuver heered tell of no man's tradin' in these hyar Kentucky mountains without he haggled considerable. Why thet's what tradin' denotes. Howsomever what flabbergasts me air thet ye hain't met up with Alexander. Stranger, ye don't know nothin' about this neck o' the woods a-tall!"
Betty Gallup was waiting for her. "What d'ye think of him?" she whispered anxiously. "Why, he's splendid!" the girl replied scarcely stifling her laughter. "He's a character!" "Humph! Mebbe. But even if he is your uncle, I got to say right now he ain't a man I'd trust. Nothin' a-tall like Cap'n Abe!" "I think he seems a great deal like Uncle Abram." "Humph!

Mrs. Jackson glanced furtively over her shoulder and observed that Mrs. Symes was still standing on the veranda. "If I come upon her face to face, but I don't go out of my way a-tall," she added in unconscious imitation of Mrs. Symes's newly-acquired languor of speech. "One rully can't afford to after her bein' so indiscreet and all." "Rotten, I says" declared Mrs. Tutts tersely.
"This guy's talkin' through his hat," he sneered. "I ain't allowin' that I branded any of his cattle." Watkins smiled. "There don't seem to be nothin' to this case a-tall not a-tall. There ain't nobody goin' to be took into custody by me for stealin' cattle unless they're ketched with the goods an' that ain't been proved so far." He turned to Hollis.

He did n't seem to think of anything but Apaches, and he had n't been with us very long till the boys did n't give him a chanst to think of anything else a-tall.
Refusing to listen to reason, this here head brakeman, which anybody could tell just by looking at him that he didn't have no heart a-tall and no soul, so as you could notice it, he just red lights us off into the peaceful and sun-lit bosom of the rooral New York State landscape.
It wuzn't meant fur anybody a-tall to see ever. And I'm wonderin', ma'am, and waitin' fur you to tell me how come it to reach you." "I'll tell you," she answered. "But first, before we get to that, would you mind telling me how you came to write it, and when, and all? I think I can guess. I think I have already pieced the thing together for myself.
