As I stood and looked at them books I got carried a good ways off a-ridin' on Wonder a-wonderin' whether them books had done any good in the world. I'd wanted 'em to, I'd wanted 'em to like a dog. Sometimes I'd felt real riz up a-thinkin' they had, and then agin I've felt dubersome. But I knew they had gin great enjoyment, I'd hearn on't.
Morris had ridden away, "you see I's right in my 'clusions, and Mahs'r Morris 'grees with me." "Dunno," said Brother 'Bijah, shaking his head, "dis is a mighty dubersome question. You kep' dem apples clar out o' sight, Brudder Gran'son; clar out o' sight."

She had been and contoggled three days and a half for Miss Elder Minkley, and got fifty cents a day for contogglin'.
