Look at this coat, the roll o' this collar up to your ears, and as for buttons well, look at 'em see 'em flash! As for weskits, see 'ere, son, climbin' roses worked into true-lover's knots and all pure silk!

I'm a Mexican if this yere Sal don't come wanderin' in, a- cryin' an' a-mournin' powerful.
I sot with Betsy Jane on the fense of her farther's pastur. Wall, we sot thar on the fense, a swingin our feet two and fro, blushin as red as the Baldinsville skool house when it was fust painted, and lookin very simple, I make no doubt.
