I had stopped cussing, because the widow didn't like it; but now I took to it again because pap hadn't no objections. It was pretty good times up in the woods there, take it all around. But by and by pap got too handy with his hick'ry, and I couldn't stand it. I was all over welts. He got to going away so much, too, and locking me in. Once he locked me in and was gone three days.
"But cussing him out won't do no good, Mawruss. The thing to do now is to get busy and turn out some garments what we can sell. Them masquerade costumes what he gets up you couldn't sell to a five-and-ten-cent store." "All right," Morris said. "Let's have another designer and leave Louis to do the cutting." "Another designer!" Abe exclaimed. "No, Mawruss, you're a good enough designer for me.
You can punch a gent for cussing you, or stepping on your foot, or crowding you, or sneering at you, or talking behind your back, or for a thousand things. But back here in a crowd you can't fight a gent for laughing at you. Laughing is outside the law most anywheres, Bill. It's the one thing you can't answer back except with more laughing.
Squire," he cried, addressing the Justice, and drawing the attention of all to himself, "here's Squire Davenport says, he expects the Lord's forgive his cussing and swearing, and thinks you'd better do as well by Father Holden, and let him run."

You see, he come to the yard to work, after you'd begged him on, and he was drunk as a fiddler not as ever I see a fiddler that way. And then, i'stead o' doing his work, he was nasty, and began cussing.
There was a yell at us, and a jingling of bells to stop the engines, a powwow of cussing, and whistling of steam and as Jim went overboard on one side and I on the other, she come smashing straight through the raft. I dived and I aimed to find the bottom, too, for a thirty-foot wheel had got to go over me, and I wanted it to have plenty of room.
But the duke says: "You better a blame' sight give YOURSELF a good cussing, for you're the one that's entitled to it most. You hain't done a thing from the start that had any sense in it, except coming out so cool and cheeky with that imaginary blue-arrow mark. That WAS bright it was right down bully; and it was the thing that saved us.
Imagine the three American soldiers and the "Y" man and the two British soldiers sitting disconsolately in a filthy taplooshka, hands and faces with three days and nights of grime and dirt, scratching themselves under their dirty rags, cussing the active cooties that had come with the shirts, and trying to soothe their itching bewhiskered faces.
And I remembered that my hair was half down, trailing across my nose, and that three distinctly new freckles had shown themselves that week on the bridge of that same nose. "O God, but you're lovely!" he said in a half-smothered and shamefaced sort of whisper. "Verboten!" I reminded him. "And not so much the cussing, Peter, as the useless compliments."
