He was here in an early day, and he was the handyest man about takin' holt of anything that come along you most ever see, I judge. He was a cheerful, stirnn' cretur, always doin' somethin', and no man can say he ever see him do anything by halvers.

Now, Jo, if you've got that cretur o' yourn into ship-shape, it always doos seem to me jest like a human cretur that's got the right p'int o' view, that fiddle doos, jest give it to us lively."

You all hearn me: he's crazy, s'I; everything shows it, s'I. Look at that-air grindstone, s'I; want to tell ME't any cretur 't's in his right mind 's a goin' to scrabble all them crazy things onto a grindstone, s'I?
