That's to say, a man allaways conceits thar's a heap o' promise waitin' for him, somewhar over yonder. Naow, you've seen sights enough for a hundred men. Contrariwise, thar's my gal never been further'n the Caounty Fair. But that don't stop her; no sirree, human nature can't be stopped. Every night, fair or storm, she walks daown an' sits on the rocks, lookin' seaward, before she turns in.
When I walked out into the meadow by daylight and looked about me curiously, I saw, not forty rods away, the back of a barn. "Be you the fellow that was daown in my cowpasture all night?" asked the sturdy farmer. "I'm that fellow," I said. "Why didn't you come right up to the house?" "Well " I said, and then paused. "Well..." said I. Strange, strange, how small the big world is!
"'Here's to the good old whiskey, drink 'er daown," sang Mr. Young. "'Here's to the good old whiskey, Drink 'er daown! Here's to the good old whiskey, It makes you feel so frisky, Drink 'er Git up there, blank blank ye! What the blankety blank you stoppin' here for? Git up!" The horse was not the only creature that got up. Mrs. Calvin rose from her chair and gazed in horror at the window.
One think was ruther stiddier 'n the rest, an' that was that I liked Bewlah more 'n I knew. I begun tew see what kep' me loafin' tew hum so much, sence aunt was took daown; why I wan't in no hurry tew git them other gals, an' haow I come tew pocket my mittens so easy arfter the fust rile was over.
I don't say as she ain't the lastin'est kind er fool, ner I don't say a child ain't worse spattin' the lines an' standin' up an' hollerin' but I do say, 'tain't none of our business to shed 'em daown the road." "We don't," said the Deacon. "The baby tried to git some o' my tail for a sooveneer last fall when I was up to the haouse, an' I didn't kick. Boney's talk ain't goin' to hurt us any.
Words would have failed where that single breath sufficed. The man remained quiet until the boy finally turned back to him, eased the heavy trap to his other shoulder and wet his lips once more. "I thought it war," he murmured, and a thread of awe wove through the words. "I thought it est nachelly hed to be! Haow haow many houses would you reckon they might be daown daown in thet there holler?"
I went daown to the barn to see 'em, an' there was one, the cutest little critter I ever sot eyes on, and I've seen more 'n four pigs in my day, 't was a little black-spotted one, as spry as an ant, and the dreffullest knowin' look out of its eyes!
I wuz born with a splint on my near fore ez big's a walnut, an' the cussed, three-cornered Hambletonian temper that sours up an' curdles daown ez you git older.

Fac' was, he was livin' too lonesome daown there at the mansion-haouse.
Well, Ireson he said there warn't any sense to reskin' a boat in that sea; the men they wouldn't hev it; and he laid it before them to stay by the Active till the sea run daown a piece. They wouldn't hev that either, hangin' araound the Cape in any sech weather, leak or no leak. They jest up stays'l an' quit, nat'rally takin' Ireson with 'em.
