Is there any sense in the talk thet wherever you land there's hell to pay?"
I would hate to have all the cusses of the widows and orphans, and the wus than widows and orphans that them air ginerations of vipers hev made, and bit. But there is another pint which consarns every one of us. Hev we a right to stand by silent and see these things did?
"Oughter been a leetle handier with these hyar consarns," he said, touching the pistols in his belt. It vaguely occurred to Dundas that the young man went strangely heavily armed for an evening visit at a neighbor's house.

Father he larfed out like any thing; I thought he never would stop and sister Sall got right up and walked out of the room, as mad as a hatter. Says she, Sam, I do believe you are a born fool, I vow.

Many of us was your sincere frends, and thought certin parties amung us was fussin' about you and meddlin' with your consarns intirely too much. But, J. Davis, the minit you fire a gun at the piece of dry goods called the Star-Spangled Banner, the North gits up and rises en massy, in defence of that banner. Not agin you as individooals not agin the South even but to save the flag.
"Speak, Jennet," said Alizon, in a tone of kind persuasion. "Ey shanna speak onless ye cum ower t' wetur to me," replied the little girl; "an whot ey ha to tell consarns ye mitch." "I can easily cross," observed Alizon to Richard. "Those stones seem placed on purpose."
Stop talkin' all of 'ee, an' fetch me what you've stole, between 'ee, an' leave me alone!" Mr Pamphlett shifted his ground. "You're right, Nanjivell.
