"There ain't no private part to this yer ship that ez, 'cepting the rooms and lofts," said Mr. Nott, authoritatively. Then, subjecting the anxious look of his daughter to his usual faculty for misconception, he added, "Thar ain't no place whar you haven't as much right to go ez any other man; thar ain't any man, furriner or Amerykan, young or old, dyed or undyed, ez hev got any better rights.
We didn't like them. We had meat hid in the cellar. We got hungry that spring sure as you born. "The old man married pretty soon after freedom. He married young to what he was. "I didn't find much fault to slavery 'cepting the abuse. We et three times a day and now if I get one piece I do well. Mother cooked, washed, ironed and spun four cuts a day.
We picked up boat-load of shipwrecked people, and among 'em there's one that tall soldier-looking chap over there on the larboard side of the skylight who says he can fortify the place for us, and build us out of these old hulks a craft that 'll beat anything we're likely to meet, 'cepting perhaps steamers." "Says!" ejaculated the Greek contemptuously.
"You, old! Who's been telling you that?" "Nobody, 'cepting this infernal rheumatism. But I ain't quite as badly crippled up this morning as the preacher is, at that." "Do you mean to say that the minister has the rheumatism?" "No, he ain't got nothing as tame or ordinary as that.

She said to me yesterday, 'No one comes to see me, mother, 'cepting doctor." Radmore went off to the other two. "The woman evidently feels that she ought to come up herself to the house. But she's nervous about leaving her little girl. I was wondering whether Timmy would mind staying and amusing the child? We might have our picnic in the house itself, if it's in any way possible."
The handsomest man in the army they said he was, for all that one of his cheeks was scarred where a bullet had gone through it years before; and sure enough I never see a finer man 'cepting my Jan. But he was terrible stern too, and I never saw man look so dark and angry as he did then.
Nothing like the old things, say!" "'Cepting engines," interposed Step Hen, maliciously. "Oh! well, I draw the line there, that's true," Bumpus admitted, with a shrug of his fat shoulders, as his eyes unconsciously dropped, so that he looked down into the depths of the lake, "a full mile deep," as he always said to himself. "Oh! I saw a fish then!" he suddenly shouted, showing new excitement.
It's because of my civic pride in the affairs of Little River that I make you this liberal offer. Well, it did look too good to be true, but I couldn't see nothing wrong, and he promised me on his word to see that I got a ship, the very next one his company was to send out. I ain't much up on them legal papers. I ain't had nothing to do with any kind of papers for years 'cepting owners' orders.
