An', fussly, we'll pursidder dis: IS HE ABLE TER DO IT? Is he able fur ter kill marster's niggers wid de s'ord an' de famine? My bredren, he is able! Didn' he prize open de whale's mouf, an' take Jonah right outn him? Didn' he hol' back de lions wen dey wuz er rampin' an' er tearin' roun' atter Dan'l in de den?
Here, shake hands, my lad. It was fine." "Hi! Dexter! Here, my boy, quick!" came the doctor's voice. "It's all right. She has gone out." "There!" said Dan'l, laughing; and Dexter ran in. "Where's Dexter?" said the doctor. "Down the garden," said Helen. "Humph! Hope he is not getting into fresh mischief." "I hope not, papa," said Helen; "and really I think he is trying very hard."
"Where's the fiddle?" demanded Tobey, and Tim unhooked a calico bag from the saddlebow and held it out. A laugh greeted the gesture. "Dan'l said he be hanged if he'd come," announced Tim, with a grim appreciation of the humorous side of the situation; "so I hung him and brought him along and his fiddle to boot. But don't boot it until after the dance."
I don't know just how much you knew about your pa's ways, but, anyhow, you wouldn't play him to grade much higher above standard than the run of 'em out here that has had things comin' too easy for 'em. He was all right, Dan'l J. was. God knows I ain't discountin' the comfort I've always took in him. He'd stand acid all right, at any stage of the game. Don't forget that about your pa."
Smiley he went to the swamp and slopped around in the mud for a long time, and finally he ketched a frog, and fetched him in, and give him to this feller, and says: "Now, if you're ready, set him alongside of Dan'l, with his fore-paws just even with Dan'l, and I'll give the word."
Toby crept softly in, and, going up to the old man, knelt down and said, very humbly, and with his whole soul in the words, "Oh, Uncle Dan'l! if you'll only forgive me for bein' wicked an' runnin' away, an' let me stay here again for it's all the home I ever had I'll do everything you tell me to, an never whisper in meetin' or do anything bad."
"Yes, now I think of it, I'll go by land." "I think, also," continued Adams, without noticing Charlie's remark, "that some one said Bessy Mills was going by water." "You're all wrong, Charlie, about the land road," said Matt Quintal; "the water is far better. I shall go by water." "Dan'l, my lad," said Adams, addressing young McCoy, "which way did you say you'd go?"
"I think you'll become a second Davy Crockett or Dan'l Boone if you keep on. It's a wonder the deer let you come so close. The wind is blowing toward the stream." "I trailed around to the rocks where we had the tumble last winter, and then I came up as silently as a Comanche after a scalp.
Dan'l wuz er good Christyun man wat lived in de Bible; and whedder he wuz er white man or whedder he wuz er brack man I dunno; I ain't nuber hyeard nobody say. But dat's neder hyear no dar; he wuz er good man, and he pray tree times eby day.
The monkey had taken the doughnut in his handlike paws, and was tearing it to pieces, eating small portions of it very rapidly. "Don't hurry yourself," said Toby, warningly, "for Uncle Dan'l always told me the worst thing a feller could do was to eat fast. If you want any more, after we start, just put your hand through the little hole up there near the seat, an' I'll give you all you want."
