"It's aisy to double him up," said Mickey,who just then caught a glimpse of the eyes again; "but if he'll show the way out of here, I'll make a vow never to shoot another wolf, even if he tries to chaw me head off." "How are we going to discover the place?" "Just foller him. He'll hang round a while, very likely all night, and when he finds out there's nothing to make here, he'll trot off agin.
Spry? 'Dull, says she, 'very dull; there's no markets now, things don't fetch nothin'. Thinks I, some folks hadn't ought to complain of markets, for they don't raise nothin' to sell, but I didn't say so; FOR POVERTY IS KEEN ENOUGH, WITHOUT SHARPENING ITS EDGE BY POKIN' FUN AT IT. 'Potatoes, says I, 'will fetch a good price this fall, for it's a short crop in a general way; how's your'n? 'Grand, says she, 'as complete as you ever seed; our tops were small and didn't look well; but we have the handsomest bottoms, it's generally allowed, in all our place; you never seed the best of them, they are actilly worth lookin' at. I vow I had to take a chaw of tobaccy to keep from snortin' right out, it sounded so queer like.
"What was de text to-day, Miss Sophy? Ah sort o' likes to chaw easy on a mout'ful o' text whilst Ah 'm washin' up mah dishes." We gave her the text, which happened to be one that fills every negro's heart with undiluted joy: "O ye dry bones, hear the word of the Lord."
"Come on then," said Brinton; "for we want a keeper, as we left one at the last town. He was a young man who had been reading in natural history about the noble nature of the lion, and he put his hand in between the bars to pat Brutus on the head. The surgeon examined him, and said his arm was fractured in several places it was a regular chaw. We left him in the hospital.
"Yes," replied Stiles, in answer to his companion's question, "I'm going over to-night allers makin' due 'lowance for bein' ketched by the Yanks." "Here's some mail, then," continued the man, thrusting several letters into the bag. "How soon do you start?" "Jest as soon as Tibbs comes with the up-country mail, an' I get the kernel's letters. Was you takin' a chaw of tobaker, Bob?"
It tells all about him, to a dot paints him like a picture, and tells the plantation he's frum, below NewrLEANS. No-sirree-BOB, they ain't no trouble 'bout THAT speculation, you bet you. Say, gimme a chaw tobacker, won't ye?" I didn't have none, so he left. I went to the raft, and set down in the wigwam to think. But I couldn't come to nothing.
It's only a scratch, but I ain't lettin' no damned animal chaw me up an' get away with it." He drew the hand away from the boy and placed it behind him so that Betty could not look at it, which she had been doing until now, with wide, frightened eyes. She came forward when he placed the hand behind him, and stood close to him, determination in her manner.
They fed the animals better. They gives the mules, ruffage and such, to chaw on all night. But they didn't give us nothing to chaw on. Learned us to steal, that's what they done. Why we would take anything we could lay our hands on, when we was hungry. Then they'd whip us for lieing when we say we dont know nothing about it. But it was easier to stand, when the stomach was full."
"Looks like somethin' had set out to chaw that tree down!" drawled a mountain man to his neighbour. But when the tree finally tottered and crashed to the ground it fairly centred the direction stake! The bystanders stared; then catching the expression of ludicrous astonishment on Elliott's face, broke into appreciative laughter.
When he had lain quiet for a moment, he turned to one of us and said: "Dock, I'm goin' up and dive off that stump a back flip-flop you dassent!" Pretty soon he seemed to come up snuffing and blowing and grinning and said, "Last man dressed got to chaw beef." Then he cried: "Dock's it Dock's it; catch 'im, hold him there he goes duck him, strip him. O well, let him go if he's go'n' to cry.
