"'Bout's big as a bird, Miss Polly. Little round ball for a head, little mites o' eyes; but you won't care you can see just as well." "It does beat all where children get such queer ideas doesn't it, Ruth?" said Miss Whiting. "Didn't you know it?" cried Katie, finding she had startled Miss Polly. "Didn't you know you's goin' to be little, and fly in the air just so?" throwing up her arms.
I give you my word I'd do it in a week, and the least you could have done, seems to me, would have been to wait and give me the chance. But no! all you think 'bout's yourself. So 'fraid she'd say no and you'd lose your old housekeeper, wa'n't you? The idea! She must think I'm a good one can't do my own courtin', and have to git somebody to do it for me! What did she say?" he asked suddenly.
Las' time Aunt Jemima was yere she say de doctor 'lowed her kittens was 'fected." St. George roared: "Well, whatever she's got, I'm going to pay my respects to her; I've neglected Aunt Jemima too long. No my best hat don't forget that I'm going to call on a very distinguished colored lady. Come, out with it. How far does she live from the market?" "Jes' 'bout's far's from yere to de church.
"When he seed you lookin' at his pet rose-bush on yer way to church las' Sunday, didn't he hurry an' pull two or three an' han' 'em to ye?"

I tell you it makes business lively fer the lawyers an sheriffs. They're the ones ez rides in kerridges these days." "Is the jail pretty full now?" "Chock full, hed to send a batch up ter Lenox las' week, an got em packed bout's thick's they'll lay naow, like codfish in a bar'l. Haow in time I'm a gonter make room fer the fellers the court'll send in nex' week, I d'now, derned if I dew.
And I wouldn't swap her off neither.... Spunky little creeter, too; settin; up in the wagon lookin' bout's big as a pint o' cider, but keepin' right after the goods!... I vow I'm bout sick o' my job! Never WITH the crowd, allers JEST on the outside, s if I wa'n't as good's they be!
They can't get married because 'Niram can't keep even, let alone get ahead any, because I cost so much bein' sick, and the doctor says I may live for years this way, same's Aunt Hettie did. An' 'Niram is thirty-one, an' Ev'leen Ann is twenty-eight, an' they've had 'bout's much waitin' as is good for folks that set such store by each other. I've thought of every way out of it and there ain't any.
