Mary-'Gusta, if you and that consarned what's-his-name Jimmie go into that parlor again, unless Isaiah or one of us are with you, I I by the jumpin' Judas, me and Zoeth won't let you go to the Sunday school picnic. There! I mean that and so does Zoeth. Shut up, Zoeth! You do mean it, too.
Both belong to every man, woman and child possessed of a pure dhrop of Irish blood in their veins; for all have suffered alike, as far as that is consarned.
Which was, so said old Dick in confidence to the two young officers, "a blessing to everybody consarned, for that there Rajah Gantang was about the wussest nigger as ever suffered from the want of soap."

When I was a gal we wouldn't have been allowed to have so much freedom where the young fellers was consarned." Janice was quite used to Mrs. Scattergood's sharp tongue; but it was hard to bear her strictures on this occasion. "I hope it is not wrong for me to show my friend that I trust and believe in him," she said firmly, and nodding good-bye, turned abruptly away.
"I dunno 'bout dat, suh. It mought cos' mo', en it mought cos' less, ez fuh ez money is consarned. I ain' denyin' you could cl'ar up dat trac' er Ian' fer a hund'ed er a couple er hund'ed dollahs, ef you wants ter cl'ar it up.

"Wrong you are, for once, Jerry! 'Twarn't no more Mackerel than it was Camberwell." Said Mr. Jerry: "Take an even tizzy on it, Mo?" He twisted the paper about to recover the paragraph, and found it. "Here we are! 'Ralph Daverill, alias Thornton, alias Wix, alias! ..." "Never mind his ale-houses, Jerry. That's the name I'm consarned with Daverill.... What's the matter with M'riar?"
"Considerable sick, I guess," answered the landlady, taking from a side cupboard an immense decanter of camphor, and passing it toward the stranger. "Considerable sick, and I wouldn't wonder if you had to lay by a day or so. Will they be consarned about you to home, 'cause if they be, my old man'll write."
Ye oughter keep sober; an' ye know, Isham, ye oughter keep Hil'ry sober. I dun'no' why ye can't. I never could abide the nasty stuff it's enough ter turn a bullfrog's stomach. Whiskey is good ter sell not ter drink. Let them consarned idjits in the flat woods buy it, an' drink it. Whiskey is good ter sell not ter drink."
Got so we had to chain the dog Snowball whenever it came on to blow, for there's a consarned lot o' reefin' down and hoistin' sail on one o' them big fo'masters. The skipper't keeps his job on a ship like the Sally S. Stern must get steamboat speed out o' her. "So, 'twas 'all hands to stations! sometimes three and four times in a watch. Owners ain't overlib'ral in matter of crew nowadays.

"Which means," returned the seaman, "that for the sake of savin' my life, you're a-goin' to risk your own and the lives of all consarned.
