After the round-up Flap Jack decided to go on a bender. I tried to talk him out of it, but he insisted, an' finally I sent him into Jabez. Flappy came away just tearin' mad. "He's the hardest-hearted old tyrant ever breathed," sez Flappy to me. "What now?" sez I. "Last time I came back I was a day late," sez Flappy.
I read the English version of it before Bender until I pronounced the words correctly. I thought I realized their music. I got the chapter by heart. When I recited it before Bender he was joyously surprised and called me a "corker." "What is a corker?" I asked, beamingly "It's slang for 'a great fellow." With which he burst into a lecture on slang
"I didn't think any one much came there, except us," said Rob, as the Flying Fish headed away from the wharf and began to cut through the waters of the inlet. "Oh, yes; there's others," responded the old man. "That Jack Curtiss lad and his two chums are out there quite often." "Bill Bender and Sam Redding, I suppose you mean," said Tubby. "Those their names?" asked the captain.
Bender thought he could come a day or two later the earning of their daily bread was not an absorbing task with these young gentlemen their fathers had done that years before.

And Mr. Bender, he was the fust to go, and then Indian Pete, and then Mrs. McGregor, and then Johnny Hones, and then, dearie, your mother." "Then mother's a deader too," cried the little girl dropping her face in her pinafore and sobbing bitterly.

"Six hours. That's riding right along, but do it my way and I'll gamble you my own string of horses and they're worth considerable more than a thousand that I'll be back, heeled, at six."
"She hasn't a silly, doll baby's face, but there isn't a finer looking girl in Chicopee, no, nor in Boston either," returned Billy, with so much warmth and earnestness that George laughed aloud, saying, "Why, really, Bender, you are more eloquent on the subject of female beauty than I supposed you to be; but go on; tell me more of her.
