Wall, Sister Blanker wuz a-goin' on ahead of me one night; it wuz a charitable meetin' that we wuz a-goin' to to quilt a bedquilt for a heathen and she knew I wuz jest behind her right on her tracts, as you may say, for we had sot out together from the preachin'-room, and we had been a-talkin' all the way there on the different merits of otter color or butnut for linin' for the quilt, and as to whether herrin'-bone looked so good as a quiltin' stitch as plain rib.
The Chinaman returned the compliment with interest, throwing into his sallow countenance an expression of, if possible, blanker astonishment. "O-wow!" said Bill, with solemn gravity, and pausing, as if to give him time to prepare for what was coming. "O-wow! wot do you dress your pig-tail with?" "Ho!" replied the Chinaman. "Ho!" echoed Bill; "now, that's curious.
It jest reminds me of Sister Blanker." And he sez, "I don't thank you to compare me to that slab-sided old maid." Sez I, "I believe she's a Christian, Josiah." And so I do.

And then I could stay here with you all the time, and we would take splendid care of each other. 'There's nothing there but a little brown room, my dear. 'I do not care, sir. Mrs. Saddler must have a spare blanker among her stores.
I shall therefore go against the usages of the world, which I don't care a button for, and my own habits, which I care a great deal for, and give you, humph a piece of friendly advice." David looked blank. "Dodd, my boy, you are playing the fool in this house." David looked blanker.

And the Garvins wuz mad as hens, and they bein' connected with most everybody in the Dorcuss Society and it wuzn't over than above large why, take it with my bein' laid up and the children havin' to be home so much, Sister Blanker in that one slam jest about cleaned out the hull Methodist meetin'-house.
He had apprehended the visage of a thunderstorm, with a rattle of brusque complaints: he encountered Spaulding as he had always seemed: a little, urbane figure with a blank face, the blanker for glasses whose lenses seemed always to catch the light and, glaring, mask the eyes behind them; a prosperous man of affairs, well groomed both as to body and as to mind; a machine for the transaction of business, with all a machine's vivacity and temperamental responsiveness.
