He didn't let on at least not so the fool could see it his dander was started, setting on himself being one of the things his work trained him to; but the boys noticed he begun to get palish up at the top of his forehead where there was a white streak between his hair and where his hat come and all hands knowed that for a bad sign.
But Kitty was up and out, with a mighty crowd or tail in attendance, flying up and down in every direction, to see if any burning trace could be had of her beloved Marion; for she declared that, if she only got "the dander o' her body to bury in Christ's Kirk," she would be thankful to heaven for the gift, and try to moderate her grief. But no "dander" was to be seen.
Fer, if Cunnel Blount don't git no b'ah look out den, I kin tell you." "Gets his dander up, eh?" "Dandah dandah! You know him? Th'ain't no better boss, but ef he goes out huntin' b'ah an' don't get no b'ah why, then th' ain't no reason goin' do foh him." "Is Mrs. Blount at home, Bill?" "Th'ain't no Mrs. Blount, and I don't reckon they neveh will be. Cunnel too busy huntin' b'ah to git married.
And then one older youth, who was given to writing songs, began to sing softly: "Rub-a-dub-dub! One man in a tub, And who do you think it is, It's William Philander, Who's got up his dander, And isn't he mad! Gee whizz!"

And when the lady trout came to inspect the nests that had been prepared for them, then times were livelier than ever, and the jealousy and rivalry ran very high, indeed.
When he got up an' dressed, he'd dander down to the butcher's an' point to the fatty parts of the meat with the end of his walking-stick, which was made out of a shark's backbone, if you ever!

"I am under great obligations to that person; I am not sure I may not say I owe him my life, but certainly an extrication from great dander and very embarrassing danger too. I never saw him but once, and he would not give me his name, and scarcely would accept my thanks. I wanted to stop his cab to-day, but it was impossible. He literally galloped off."
