"Nonsense! What are you thinking about? You've got hold tight as ever." "Nay, I arn't, Master Aleck. I let go when you telled me. I'm on'y leaning agen the rope to keep from going down into the water." "Why, Tom, what's the matter with you?" cried Aleck, wonderingly, as he placed his hands on his companion's. "I tell you that you're holding on as tight as ever." "Eh?" said the man, feebly.
Not so bad as it might ha' been." "Oh, it couldn't have been worse!" I cried. "What? Not been worse, sir? Why, where's your mainmas' gone by the board, and your fore-mast cut off at the top-mast-head, and your mizzen splintered into matchwood? Why, my lad, this arn't been nothing. And look yonder, there's the sun a-coming out, leastwise it's making the clouds look red-like.
"Yes, I see them, my boy," he said; "and I was deceived too, for the moment, but we must not waste shot on creatures like these." "Why, if it arn't a pair o' 'gators," said Morgan, with a suppressed laugh. "Well, they did look just like Injins, and no mistake." I felt so vexed at making so absurd a mistake, that I remained silent till my father passed the gun to me. "Take hold," he said, gently.
"Well, then, if thee think'st her so pretty, why arn't fond on her?" Adam looked up in surprise. "Why, Mother, dost think I don't set store by Dinah?" "Nay," said Lisbeth, frightened at her own courage, yet feeling that she had broken the ice, and the waters must flow, whatever mischief they might do.

"Doctors don't die in a hurry.
Say, sir, arn't it a bit what you may call it to take it away?" "A bit what?" "Well, sir, what do you grand folks call it when some one does what we're a-doing on?" "Unkind." "No, sir; it arn't an un-anything." "Cruel?" "No, sir. Cause you see a boat arn't a beast." "Oh, I don't know what you mean," I said impatiently. "Yes, it is an un-something; I forgot, sir.

Any one'd think we was babbies. Ketchy, ketchy, indeed! You ask him if there arn't no other way. I don't like walking in a place that's like so much hot soup." "Be quiet, and follow. Hist! Hark!"
"And the water's boiling hot," added Don. "You can see it bubbling just at this end." "Think o' that now!" said Jem. "I say, what a big fire there must be somewhere down b'low. Strikes me, Mas' Don, that when I makes my fortun' and buys an estate I sha'n't settle here." "No, Jem. `There's no place like home." "Well, home's where you settle, arn't it? But this won't do for me.
And, as I said afore, if I was Eben Megg, I'd drop the smuggling and go inland for a bit. That there sloop'll come into harbour some night when she arn't expected; you see if she don't! They was fine young men the skipper got the other night, and I say he'll try for another haul."
'Ee's at the club, arn't 'ee? said the woman. 'Well they won't be up yet. Jim tolt me as Muster Perris' 'Muster Perris' was the vicar of Clinton Magna ''ad got a strange gen'leman stayin with 'im, and was goin to take him into the club to-night to speak to 'em.
