She's no better, an' th' Lard's not answerin' my prayer yet t' give back strength t' she an' make she walk." "'Twill be all right wi' th' maid, now. Th' doctor said they'd be makin' she well at th' hospital." "But the's no money t' send she t' th' hospital an' if she don't go th' doctor said she'd never be gettin' well." "Now don't be lettin' that worry ye, Mary.
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.
That was to say, in coorse, supposin' he got the chance of convarsin' a bit wid somebody aquil to answerin' him back iligant, the way there wasn't e'er a one of thim could make an offer at doin' no more than thim little weevils of chirpin' chuckens."

"Uncle Jimmy Borton had a letter from Albany to-day, an' his son-in-law said three strange men had been seen in the Albany depot the other day.

Then there were pictures o' Joseph an' Moses, an' a great lot mair Bible characters, the loons roarin' oot the names generally afore the pictures were half in sicht. They were roid loons, an' nae mistak', but I can tell ye they had the Bible at their finger nebs. Dauvid was as prood's Loocifer aboot the laddies answerin' so smert; but Sandy hardly liked it.
Me an' Miss Hazy jes been talkin' 'bout you." Lovey Mary glanced up furtively. Could they have suspected anything? "Didn't yer years sorter burn! We was speakin' of the way you'd slicked things up round here. I was a-sayin' even if you was a sorter repeatin'-rifle when it come to answerin' back, you was a good, nice girl."

When he seen the lilies an' the candles he thess clapped his little hands, an' time the folks commenced answerin' back he was tickled all but to death, an' started answerin' hisself on'y, of co'se he'd answer sort o' hit an' miss. I see then thet Sonny was a natu'al-born 'Piscopal, an' we might ez well make up our minds to it an' I told HER so, too. They say some is born so.
Ben had a habit of stayin' in his room an' havin' a nigger fetch his up on a waiter, an' Het feels like it is her duty to do likewise.
