Why! my son-in-law lives right now in a place in York State called 'Skunk's Hollow' and the city folks that's movin' in there is tryin' to git the post office to change the name to 'Posy Bloom. No 'countin' for tastes in names. My poor mother called me Mahala Ann an' me too leetle to fight back.
"The presents are somethin' wonderful," Mrs. Elliott related on another occasion. "Sally's uncle out in Seattle widower of her that left Austin all that money has sent her a whole dinner-set, white with pink roses on it twelve dozen pieces in all, countin' vegetable dishes, bone-plates, an' a soup-tureen.
Oh, yas, sir; he b'longs to all three schools to fo' for that matter, countin' the home school. You see, Sonny he's purty ticklish to handle, an' a person has to know thess how to tackle him.
I can run the boarding-house till you get back." Eliza eyed her curiously. "Don't you go to countin' on this 'chivalry of the West' which story-writers put into books. These men out here will eat you up if you don't watch out. I wouldn't dare to leave you here alone. No, what I'll do is sell the place, if I can, and both of us get out." "But you need a doctor this minute."

All done with him an' home again, an' the family not even countin' to consider. "Mrs. Macy says as she's learned a awful lot about divorce as she did n't know before.
"There you be," says he, countin' out two tens and a five. Course, I'd felt better if he'd kept the half. The kale pouch wa'n't so heavy, and from the seedy blue suit and the faded old cap I judged he could use that extra quarter. But somehow I couldn't insist. "All right, Cap," says I. "Next time I turn sudden I'll stick my hand out."
"You don't s'pose J'rome will do it," one said, meditatively. "He'll do it when the river runs uphill an' crows are white," answered another, with a hard laugh. "I dun'no'," said another, doubtfully. "J'rome Edwards 's always been next-door neighbor to a fool, an' there's no countin' on what a fool 'll do!"
"That's him, percisely," responded Jim Dow. "He don't look like it," said Stebbins, jumping down at last, but still speaking under his breath. "Waal, thar ain't no countin' on boys by the outside on 'em," returned the constable emphatically; he had an unruly son of his own. The sheriff walked up to Barney. "You're Barney Pratt, are you? Well, youngster, you'll come along with us."
