The prisoner felt that nothing could be said in palliation of this charge. "That was bad bus'ness, I'll confess; but I was so disgusted with myself that I didn't know what I was doing or saying; the words come out afore I had time to pull myself together. I was so afeard of adding something still worser that I just rushed off to git out of danger."
I'll start out on my own bus'ness, meaning to be back here while the night's young." Observing significant looks passing between the boys, the man hastened to add: "Now, don't you folks make the mistake of thinking I'll get your supper fur you, fur I don't mean to do nothing of the kind. I don't intend to do any hunting, but to git away from you so as to let you have the chance.
What ou say, Bobby Fairfax? What you call me dat fu'? My name Aunt Dicey to you an' I want you to un'erstan' dat right hyeah. Ef you keep on foolin' wid me, I 'spec' my patience gwine waih claih out." "Excuse me. Well, Aunt Dicey, why did you take the name of Jane Callender if your name is really Dicey Fairfax?" "W'y, I done tol' you, Bobby, dat Sis' Jane Callender was des' my bus'ness name."
She had not wished to use her grandfather's money for this purpose, and so had taken the position as teacher. "Well," said the Captain, "I wish you'd have come to me right away, and told me the whole bus'ness. 'Twould have saved a pile of trouble." The young lady stopped short and faced him.

Love is my bus'ness, that of all the World; Only my Flame as much surmounts the rest, As is the Object's Beauty I adore. Cel. If this be all, to tell me of your Love, To morrow might have done as well. Bel. Oh, no, to morrow would have been too late, Too late to make returns to all my Pain. What disagreeing thing offends your Eyes?
By Fortune, the Rogue's looking for me; he has a Challenge in his hand too. Sham. No matter, Sir, huff it out. Sir Tim. Prithee do thee huff him, thou know'st the way on't. Sham. What's your Bus'ness with Sir Timothy, Sir? Mine, Sir, I don't know the Gentleman; pray which is he? Sir Tim. I, I, 'tis so Pox on him. Sharp. Well, Boy, I am he What Your Master. My Master, Sir Sharp. Yes, Sir. Sharp.
It remained, however, for the gentleman from Siskyou to give the incident a subtlety that struck Miss Nevil's fancy.

When he knew a feller was very dry, he'd jest set the decanter afore him, and managed to be called outer the room on bus'ness.
"Now, Colonel Ward, there's only one way for you and me to do bus'ness the rest of our lives, and that's on the square, cent for cent. We might as well settle that p'int now.

'Well, he say, 'cose you un'erstan' now dat you is Sis' Jane Callender, caise you inhe'it huh name, an' when de doctah come to mek out de 'stiffycate, you mus' tell him dat Sis' Dicey Fairfax is de name of de diseased, an' it'll be all right, an' aftah dis you got to go by de name o' Jane Callender, caise it's a bus'ness name you done inhe'it. Well, dat's whut I done, an' dat's huccome I been Jane Callender in de bus'ness 'sactions, an' Dicey Fairfax at home.
She thought 'twas her duty, however, to warn him against profane language, but the answer she got was so much more prayerful than his first remarks, that she come about and headed for the sittin'-room quick. "Well, to make a long yarn short, the Kill-Smudge done the bus'ness. Kenelm stuck to smokin' till he couldn't read a cigar sign without his ballast shiftin', and then he give it up.
