But I see I couldn't do nothing without a candle, and I dasn't light one, of course.
Then she come across the bay in a rowboat, and I was diggin' clams, and she says. 'If you dasn't come to the house, what dast you do?

We went fishin' afterward, and got eight barrel o' herring."
The liquor was still burning in Jacob's head but at those words he got a response from the impact of Billy's fist that again laid him low. "Oh, I dasn't say nothing.

We begun to come to trees with Spanish moss on them, hanging down from the limbs like long, gray beards. It was the first I ever see it growing, and it made the woods look solemn and dismal.
Towards the middle of the day the undertaker come with his man, and they set the coffin in the middle of the room on a couple of chairs, and then set all our chairs in rows, and borrowed more from the neighbors till the hall and the parlor and the dining-room was full.
