Can you take this home and finish it, by Wednesday? In over-hours, I mean; I shall want you here daytimes, as usual.

From what Sam says that there bishop has been holding revival meetings in Big Bethel, which is a nigger church right on the edge of Bairdstown, and niggers fur miles around has been coming night after night, and some of them whooping her up daytimes too.
"Let's see what we can find up there," suggested Dick. Taking hold of the rope, after shedding his overcoat, Prescott ascended, hand over hand. "This is where Fitsey stayed daytimes," Dick called down. "And it's not a bad place, either. Here are two fur robes." Dick tumbled them down below, followed by four pairs of warm blankets. "It's all stolen stuff, I'll wager," Tom called.
"It is a long time since you went away," she returned, "but I was right in your room every night, and daytimes I played in your ravine. Bel-Air Park is the beautifulest place in the whole world.
