"Cap'n Pharo Kobbe," said his wife, as if it were suddenly and startlingly a subject of physics, "whatever is the matter with you?" "Carn't I be p'lite ef I want to?" roared the captain; but as he surveyed his contemplated burden, who was a good many inches taller than he, and by all odds sprightlier, he paled. "Ef 't you could get anything, Cap'n Kobbe," said his wife, "I sh'd think you had."
"I'm afraid it's rather weaker stuff than you're used to," I remarked deprecatingly, handing my pouch across. "Yus," he agreed, examining its contents and proceeding to fill his pipe. "It do look a bit like 'ay, don't it? 'Owever, seein' as 'ow I carn't git no more I'm werry much obliged, sir, I'm sure."

Fur two pins I'd fetch a push an' smash yer ole shanty about yer ears y'ole cow! I only arsked if Arvie lived here! Holy Mosis! carn't a feller ask a civil queschin?" "What do you want with Arvie? Do you know him?" "My oath! Don't he work at Grinder Brothers?
"Why, how do, Mr. Archer? I hadn't heerd you was in these pairts arter woodcock, I reckon?" "Yes, John, as usual; and you must go along with us, and show us the best ground." "Well, you see, I carn't go to-day for Squire Breawn, and Dan Faushea, and a whole grist of Goshen boys is comin' over to the island here to fish; but you carn't well go wrong."
