Dere is a way o' swingin' yer quarters when de driver says, 'Yank her out, boys! dat takes a year to learn. Onct yer git onter it, youse kin yank a cable-car outer a manhole.

Sucatash accepted her ultimatum without protest.
"What's matter, Mr. Young?" "Why, dang it all! I'll report to the Reeve. Fust thing yeh know there'll be a string-a-teams from here to the next concession blockin' that there road in front of the school!"
