The girl had borne her share the previous night, but her face showed no trace of the vigil. "Sprucin'?" Davy paused. Tired as he was, the girl's beauty caught and held him. "Some. I've set your breakfast out on the table, Davy, and the coffee is on the stove." "Yer gettin' t' be a master hand at cookin', Janet. I don't b'lieve Pa Tapkins can beat yer coffee. Expectin' Mark back?"
He's one o' the racers, an' they're as holler as hogsheads: you can fill 'em up to their noses, ef you're a mind to spend your corn, and they'll caper it all off their bones in twenty-four haours. I b'lieve, ef they was tied neck an' heels an' stuffed, they'd wiggle thin betwixt feedin'-times.
"You b'lieve dat I stole f'om dis house aftah all de yeahs I 've been in it, aftah de caih I took of yo' money an' yo' valybles, aftah de way I 've put you to bed f'om many a dinnah, an' you woke up to fin' all yo' money safe? Now, can you b'lieve dis?" His voice broke, and he ended with a cry. "Yes, I believe it, you thief, yes. Take him away."
So when I got up to the door I didn't go in right away; I jest stood outside." "Listenin', hey! Spyin'!" "Yup. I don't think much of folks that listens, gin'rally speakin', but there's times when I b'lieve in it. When I'm foolin' with a snake I'd jest as soon hit him from behind as in front.

Henry Rooter said it would, yesterday." Mrs. Atwater looked a little anxious. "Did you swallow some sort of seed?" she asked.
"One way or other, I b'lieve I knew the most on 'em." "Particularly as to the money due on his father's property, which Keegan had to receive; he used to talk to you confidentially about those things?" "Well, and av he did?" "But he did so; didn't he?" "Faix, but I don't know what you're afther; I b'lieve he towld me all about everything."
Blamed if I don't b'lieve I'll try it jist fer onst, fer I 'd like durn well ter git ahead out o' this pesky dust." I had never before seen such an experiment tried, but a slight knowledge of the nature of the animal involved induced me to rein back my horse, and to that precaution I have no doubt I owe my life.

"Yes, but the scamp orto've been punished," rejoined Colwell. "I don't b'lieve in lettin' such scamps off without their punishment."
"Ef you will give me one good drink tisane, Tante Lizette, I b'lieve I'm goin' sleep, me." And she did sleep; so soundly, so healthfully, that old Lizette without compunction stole softly away, to creep back through the moonlit fields to her own cabin in the new quarters. The first touch of the cool gray morning awoke La Folle.
