The packet contained two letters one for the skipper, the other for the mate from their respective wives. "Joe," said the skipper, when he had perused his letter, "come down below. I want to speak to 'ee." "That's just what I was goin' to say to yourself, for the letter from my missis says somethin' that consarns you."
"I say, Bill Blunt, I think this consarns you," cried Tom: "isn't your sweetheart's name Susan Croft?" "That's a fact," said Bill, looking up from his paper, "and who has got a word to say agin the prettiest lass in all Liverpool?" "Nobody's got a word to say against her," replied Tom; "but she's married, that's all."
The Sarpent, here, would turn his head aside if he found himself onknowingly lookin' into another chief's wigwam, whereas in the settlements while all pretend to be great people, most prove they've got betters, by the manner in which they talk of their consarns.
"It consarns me, as all things that touches a fri'nd consarns a fri'nd. I'm here as Chingachgook's aid and helper, and if we can get the young maiden he likes back ag'in, it will give me almost as much pleasure as if I had got back my own sweetheart."

Now, there's the Sarpent; a man with narves like flint, and no more cur'osity in every day consarns than is befitting prudence; why he was so overcome with the sight of the creatur', carved as it is in bone, that I felt ashamed for him!

I thought that 'ere Quincy granite was so amazin' strong all natur' wouldn't break it. 'Why you foolish critter, says he, 'it ain't the buildin' that's broke, it's the consarn that's smashed. 'Well, says I, 'I know folks are plaguilly consarned about it, but what do you call folks' "smashin' their consarns"?

The train of cars in which I was to trust my wallerable life, was the scaliest, rickytiest lookin lot of consarns that I ever saw on wheels afore. "What time does this string of second-hand coffins leave?"
"Only by way of a change, I suppose," observed Thompson, another of the convicts. "You have been in every gaol in England, to my knowledge havn't you, Ben?" "Mayhap I have," replied Collins; "but one gentleman should never interfere with the consarns of another. I warn't whipped at the cart-tail, as you were, last Lancaster 'sizes."
