Out of this he shook upon the table a five-dollar note. "Sold a b'arskin and two foxes fur that," he remarked. "It's all the money we got."

I'm bashful speshul of girls; for I soon discovers that it's easier to face a gun than a girl, an' the glance of her eye is more terrifyin' than the glimmer of a bowie. That's the way I feels. It's a fact; I remembers a time when my mother, gettin' plumb desp'rate over my hoomility, offers me a runnin' hoss if I'd go co't a girl; on which o'casion I feebly urges that I'd rather walk.
Course you can leave the do' open all the time like we-all do; but when you're a-holdin' co't and sech-like maybe you'll want to shet the do' sometimes and then whar'll ye git breath to breathe?... All these here glass winders is blame foolishness to me. Ef ye need light, open the do'. Ef somebody comes that ye don't want in, you can shet it and put up a bar.
"Wasn't that a good licking you gave him on the Ox Road, Uncle Bob?" asked Hannibal. "It was pretty fair fo' a starter, but I'm capable of doing a better job," responded Yancy.

His audience drew a long breath. The impression prevailed that the case was going against Yancy, and more than one face was turned scowlingly on the fat little justice. "Can a body drap a word here?"
"I reckon Hump won't come crowin' round heah any more co't days, Mr. Jackson," said our host. But Mr. Jackson swept the room with his eyes and then glared at the landlord so that he gave back. "Where's my man?" he demanded. "Your man, Mr. Jackson?" stammered the host. "Great Jehovah!" cried Mr. Jackson, "I believe he's afraid to race. He had a horse that could show heels to my Nancy, did he?
He was the son of her former owner; and now, finding her proper support failing her, she instinctively turned to him. "He wouldn' let him turn we all out." "He ain' got nuttin, an' ef he is, he kyarn get it in a week," said Ephraim. "Kyarn you teck it in de co't?" "Dat's whar he say he gwine have it ef I don' git out," said her husband, despairingly. Her last defence was gone.
I've been tryin' to get her some just like 'em, only my co't duties are so pressin'. Goodness, gracious me! but it's gettin' hot!" Here he stopped and mopped his face, then his eyes fell upon her again: "Bless my soul, child! you do look pretty this mornin' jest like yo' mother! Where did you get all those pink and white apple-blossoms in yo' cheeks?" "Do you remember her, Mr.
The co't air on hand to perform the solemn ceremony of marri'ge, thus fixin' things up and enablin' the parties in the case to resume the honour'ble and elevatin' state of mattermony which they desires. The fee fur performin' said ceremony will be, in this case, to wit, five dollars." Ariela caught the gleam of promise in his words. Swiftly her hand went to her bosom.
