"Yes, sir; for myself, and for myself only." "But I guess Aunt Tobithy and Miss Annie will go, won't they?"

"How they've hounded me," Dinsmore went on, clearing his thin voice as best he could a voice unaccustomed to conversation. "The winter's the worst; you ain't never been hounded in winter.

"Brother Fool.
"Well," says he, "'tis a real relief to my mind to know you've played so fair. For man and boy, Bill, I always thought it of you." "Yes, indeed," says Billy, "man and boy, it always was my motto." "But as consarnin' Selina Johns," Abe went on, "there ain't no such woman." "You don't tell me she's dead!" "No; 'tis her first husband that's dead. She's Selina Widlake now."

Sa that is a' I hev to say consarnin' ald Dame Crowl, o' Applewale House."
"Maybe your honour id wish to have a word with Father Murphy?" "Hould your tongue, you misherable bliggard," says the squire; "it's not iv my sowl I'm thinkin' an' I wondther you'd have the impitence to talk to a gintleman consarnin' his sowl; and when I want THAT fixed," says he, slappin' his thigh, "I'll go to them that knows what belongs to the likes," says he.
"Why," said Woodward, "what about that cabin?" "I'll tell you that, sir, when we get into it. It's consarnin' coorsin' too; but nobody ever lived in it since she left it." "Since who left it?" "Never mind, sir; I'll tell you all about it by and by."
