Yip! whoops Billings. 'Come on in, fellers! The water's fine! Yow! Y-e-e-e! Yip! "For a second it left off rainin' sand, and there was a typhoon of mud and spray. I see a million of the prettiest rainbows that is, I cal'lated there was a million; it's awful hard to count when you're bouncin' and prayin' and drowndin' all to once.
'Gun t' think o' myself a leetle bit then. Knowed I was in thet air slide, an' hed t' le' go purty quick. Hed n't no idee where it went tew, but I cal'lated I wus middlin' sure t' know 'fore long. Knowed when I le' go I wus goin' t' dew some tall slippin' over thet air greased bottom. See a light come down th' box 'n a minute. Hearn somebody speakin' there et the upper end.
He had been telling me of a panther he had met in the woods, one day, and how the creature ran away at the sight of him. 'Why's a panther 'fraid o' folks? I enquired. 'Wall, ye see, they used t' be friendly, years 'n years ago folks 'n panthers but they want eggszac'ly cal'lated t' git along t'gether some way. An' ol' she panther gin 'em one uv her cubs, a great while ago, jes t' make frien's.
Kind of like takin' away the doughnut and leavin' nothin' but the hole. The Wellmouth Weekly Advocate pretty nigh gave up the ghost when Mr. Colfax did. It always cal'lated on fillin' at least three columns with the doin's of the Colfaxes and their 'house parties' and such. All summer it told what they did do and all winter it guessed what they was goin' to do.
Uncle Peter closed the desk, lighted one of his best cigars, and dropped into a capacious chair. The young man seated himself opposite. "Well, son, it's a matter I cal'lated first off to handle myself, but it looks now as if you better be in on it.
I'm older'n I was ten year ago, and I wa'n't sure that I'd hold together. I cal'lated walkin' was better for my health. So I found Fifth Avenue and started to walk. And the farther I walked the heavier that blessed satchel of mine got.
I heard Abbie Larkin arrangin' for her passage with Winnie S. yesterday afternoon. Win said, 'Judas priest! He didn't know where he was goin' to put her, but he cal'lated he'd have to find stowage room somewhere. Oh, Kenelm won't be lonesome, Hannah. I shouldn't worry about that."

I've always been a good deal interested in names. Used to set around hours at a stretch, when I was aboard the old lightship, and try to pick out what name in Scriptur' I cal'lated I'd ruther be called.
"How's the salt air affectin' your appetite, Is?" asked the Captain, casually. Issy, who, being intensely serious by nature, was uneasy when he suspected the presence of a joke, confusedly stammered that he cal'lated his appetite was all right. "Payin' for the Major's glass ain't kept you awake worryin', has it?" "No-o, sir. "P'r'aps you thought he was the one to 'do the worryin', hey?"
