"Quite true," replied Boone, whose face was so pale that he might have easily been mistaken for a ghost, "but you know I have paid up my premiums quite regular, and your interest too, besides clearin' off some of the principal. Come, don't be hard on me, Gorman.
Nat'rally you want to get out on the bare ground, for there's allus a lot of clearin' up to be done in the spring and old man Jamison was poorly last year and didn't keep things up to the mark." "Yes," I replied, "I am as eager to get to work outdoors as the boys were to go after rabbits. I believe I shall like the work, but that is not the question.
Don't you remember him, sir him that was so awful bad with the fever down'n the clearin' five years ago this month? You was down to see him, I know." "Yes, yes, I remember," said the Elder, with a manner so nonchalant that he was frightened at his own diplomacy. "He was a bad fellow, I thought,"
"Wal," said the cookee, solemnly, "if the r'yal Asiatic tiger meanin' Colonel Gid and the great human Bengal meanin' him as is in the wangan get together in this clearin', I think I'd rather see it from up a tree."

Lathrop, you'd be rammin' around with a hat-pin yourself an' understand my feelin's when I say as there ain't a spot in the Bible as I ain't been over fully as often as the minister nor a place where he can open it that I can't tell just what he'll say about it afore he's done settlin' his tie an' clearin' his throat.
"Hollo there, cap'n!" shouted Peter: "we're comin' to a clearin'." "Just as I expected," thought Horace: "why didn't I pray to God before?"

"There wasn't much doing here and he went over there a few days ago to visit some friends." "A few days ago," exclaimed the colonel, as his eyes made a survey of the littered-up clearing. "He might have put in a little time clearin' out these stumps."
"Swear till you blister your lips, Anthony," replied Martin: "as for me, bein' no residenthur, I'm not bound to it; an' what's more, I'm not suspected. 'Tis settin' some other bit o' work for yez I'll be, while you're all clearin' yourselves from stealin' honest Cassidy's horse. I wish we had him safely disposed of in the mane time, an' the money for him an' the other beasts in our pockets."
"Yes, ma'am, I I've seen her," replied Druse, truthfully, the color rising to her pale cheeks. "O Lord!" ejaculated the janitress, heaving a portentous sigh from the depths of her capacious, brown calico-covered bosom, "if I was the owner of these here flats, instead of the old miser that's got 'em, wouldn't I have a clearin' out! Wouldn't I root the vice and wickedness out of some of 'em!
'I've seen 'im more times 'n ye could shake a stick at, said Ab crossing his legs comfortably and spitting into the fire. 'Kind o' thank he's the same man folks tells uv down 'n Paradise Valley there 'at goes 'round 'n the clearin' after bedtime. 'The night man! I exclaimed. 'Guess thet's what they call 'im, said Ab. 'Curus man! Sometimes I've hed a good squint at 'im off 'n the woods.
