That eased him up some, and we give him another and he got to hollerin' so loud for more uh the same, so we just set the bottle in easy reach and let him alone.

"They ain't biled to make 'em puff out, are they?" To this the woman vouchsafed no reply. "Come, missus, don't be cross; wot's the price o' yer apples now?" "D'you want one?" asked the woman testily.
