"No! Why, I just meandered through the wood, careless-like, till he comes out, and I just rode up to him, and I said" But Salomy Jane had heard her father's story before. Even one's dearest relatives are apt to become tiresome in narration. "I know, dad," she interrupted; "but this yer man, this hoss-thief, did HE get clean away without gettin' hurt at all?"
"Would you like to have it spin on your paw?" asked Billie, blinking his eyes at Uncle Wiggily, funny-like. "Oh, I might as well, before I carry you off to my den," said the bear, sort of careless-like and indifferent. "Spin the top on my paw." So Billie picked up the spinning top and put it on the bear's broad, flat paw. And, no sooner was it there, whizzing around, than the bear cried: "Ouch!
"Hey, you, Dan Kenyon," he shouted across the table, "what happened to you this mornin'? It was sixteen seconds between the tail end o' my whistle an' the front end o' your whinin'. First thing you know, you'll be gettin' so slack an' careless-like some other man'll be ridin' that log-carriage o' yourn." "I was struck dumb," Dan Kenyon replied.
"A fellow like me, for instance." A dead silence. "Well, what do you say, Missie?" "It then depends upon how they are offered."

"How would that kind of love be taken?"
"No! Why, I just meandered through the wood, careless-like, till he comes out, and I just rode up to him, and I said" But Salomy Jane had heard her father's story before.

But when the Master drags me round and I pulls at the sawdust to keep back, the judge looks at us careless-like, and then stops and glares through his specs, and I knew it was all up with me.
"I don't know," ses Ginger, careless-like, "I ain't made up my mind yet." Peter looked at 'im and then 'e looked at Sam and winked. "Let me 'ave a try," he ses; "I'll bet you another 'arf dollar that I take 'er out. P'r'aps I shall come 'ome in a better temper than wot you 'ave."
"He's not my dog," says Miss Dorothy, holding me tight. "I wish he were." "He's not for sale, sir," says the Master, and I was that glad. "Oh, he's yours, is he?" says the gentleman, looking hard at Nolan. "Well, I'll give you a hundred dollars for him," says he, careless-like. "Thank you, sir; he's not for sale," says Nolan, but his eyes get very big.

He's ez nat'ral ez you be, and tuck my arm, walkin' around, careless-like, laffen at what he was doin', ez ef it was a game, and he wasn't sole commander of forty men.
