The young seal was an endless source of speculation to her. "To think, now," she would mutter to herself, "that I'd be a-settin' here day after day a-studyin' out a critter like that, what's no more'n jest plain fish says I, if he do flop roun' the house an' drink milk like a cat. He's right uncanny; but there ain't no denyin' but what he's as good as a circus when he gits to playin' with Toby."
Ward, I can't love Him; Him havin' all the power, and yet lettin' Tom's soul go down to hell; fer Tom couldn't help it, and him livin' so. I ain't denyin' religion, ner anything like that I'm a Christian woman, an' a member but I can't love Him, so there's no use talkin' I can't love Him." She turned away and shook the shirt out, hanging it over the back of a chair in front of the stove, to dry.
"Makes what right?" asked the landlady, sharply. "And 'ow do you know my clock was ten minutes wrong?" "Oh, it was, was it?" asked Gorby, eagerly. "I'm not denyin' of it," replied Mrs. Sampson; "clocks ain't allays to be relied on more than men an' women but it won't be anythin' agin 'is insurance, will it, as in general 'e's in afore twelve?"
Jist feels like a spoonful o' red-hot ashes in your eye; an' if a drop falls outside, it tums your skin black. That ought to cut away the sort o' glassy phlegm off o' the optic nerve?" "No; you want none of these burning quack remedies; you want three months' careful treatment" "I ain't denyin' it," interrupted the man, sadly and sullenly.
"I ain't denyin' of it." Then she reflected and recommenced. "There never was such a smart performin' child as that since the world began. She can do just anythin', and just as easy! Time and again I might have hired her out to a circus, and she glad of the chance, mind you; but no, I would keep her safe to home.
"Well," she was saying mildly to Cap'n Oliver, "I'm gettin' along in years. What's the use of denyin' it? That's what Ellery said in his letter. 'You're 'most fifty, Aunt Letty, says he. 'Time to quit livin' alone an' come out here an' let us take care o' you." Cap'n Oliver scowled at the fire as if he found the freshly burning sticks too strong to be smashed, and resented it.
It is true that I needna hae felt very uneasy aboot the description o' a character that didna belang to me; but it maun be observed that there was here that mixture o' fact and fiction which, in cases o' rumour, it is sae difficult to separate. Moreover, I was certainly the person spoken o', however erroneously represented; there was nae denyin that.

"Of course you understand, John, I don't want you to think it was any slam on you that I took Joan off the range and made her stop takin' her book lessons from you. That girl got too fresh with me, denyin' my authority to marry her to the man I've picked."
"Willyum listens to Billy plenty grave an' owly, but he don't make no observations on his luck or communicate no views to Billy except that he's hungry. This yere ain't relevant none, but Billy at once pastures him out on a can of sardines an' some crackers, while he keeps on bein' liberal to himse'f about whiskey.
