"You see, them swanged fools in the legislature has went to work and passed a act ag'in' my protest, mind you compellin' doctors to fill out blanks answerin' to a lot of darn-fool questions 'bout one thing and 'nother, like this here." He had spread open on the table the paper he had drawn from his pocket.
If Jake comes here to-morrow, and you ain't here, what do you think he'll do? The neighbours are comin' for fifty miles round, two is comin' up a hundred miles, an' you can't Jinny, you can't do it. I bin sick of answerin' questions all these years 'bout you and Jake, an' I ain't goin' through it again. I've told more lies than there's straws in a tick." She flamed out.
"I dun told the ossifer dar wus no one here you knows, answerin' to your perscription." "But that was only a measure of safety for yourself; you surely do not mean to take sides with my persecutors?" "I has nuffin at all to do wid it, at all," hunching her back; "I has gib you far warnin' 'bout de laudamy an' der retentions, an' you mus' fight it out yourself, chile!
Klutchem, certainly does not relieve that gemman from the responsibility of answerin' Colonel Caarter." The colonel said the point was well taken, and the judge sustained him.

"Ay, that ye must!" chorused the others. "I only axed 'wot an' wheer." "Only axed, did ye?" repeated Joel scornfully, "Ah," nodded the other, "that's all." "But you're always a-axin', you are," said Joel gloomily. "W'ich I notice," retorted the man Tom, blowing into his tankard, "w'ich I notice as you ain't never over-fond o' answerin'." "Oh! I ain't, ain't I?"
"You don’t deny that you kissed her, do you?" said his aunt severely. "Answer this minute. I’m a great believer in answerin’ when you’re spoken to." "Yes, I kissed her," he said easily. "Aunt Mary had also had her eyes open." "Well, what did you do it for?" "I’m very fond of her;" the words came forth with great apparent reluctance. "Fond of her!" said Aunt Mary with great contempt.
So you hear; and don't get answerin' of me, for what I spoke's logic, and there's an end of it." I called him to me, and had it out with him there and then. "What's in the wind now, Dan," I asked, "that you're preaching to the dog?" "Ay, that's it," he replied, putting his hand into his pocket for his tobacco-box. "What's in the wind? why, you'd have to be askin' of it to learn, I fancy."
As nigh as I calk'late, it's about findin' rest in Jesus, and one a askin' questions, all fa'r and squar', to know the way and whether it's a goin' to lead thar' straight or not, and the other answerin'. And he he was a tinkerin', 'way up on the foremast, George Olver and the rest on us was astern, and I'll hear to my dyin' day how his voice came a floatin' down to us thar' chantin'-like it was cl'ar and fearless and slow.
"But I can't break my promise, Torchy," says she. "That's right," says I, "and I wouldn't ask you to. Let's take the subway." I won; and when I put her in a taxi an hour later she was still blushin' from answerin' questions. I had that paper with the city seal on it in my inside pocket, though.
