The evening was darkening rapidly, and the firelight flickered over the back of the toy dogs piled up on the dresser.
The ugly industrial town had then been little injured by shells, though every now and then it received its share. The Huns sometimes playfully directed against it French 220's captured at Maubeuge, and to point the witticism sent over a few duds inscribed 'Un Souvenir de Maubeuge. So passed seven weeks during which we learned the routine of war under singularly favourable conditions.
"Cap," said he, after a short delay, "'ee needn't show yur crowd till we've first took the luk-outs by the eend o' the kenyun." "How can we take them?" inquired Seguin. "Strip them twenty niggurs," replied Rube, pointing to our captives, "an' let twenty o' us put on their duds. Then we kin take the young fellur him hyur as tuk me for the grizzly! He! he! he!

"No girl has ever went from this town as that Carroll girl will," he told his wife, who assisted him to clean the carriage cushions. "I s'pose the folks will dress a good deal," said she, brushing assiduously. "You bet," said her husband. "Well, they won't get no dirt on their fine duds off your carriage-seats," said she.

But when I saw my brother tricked out in new clothes, and his old duds covering me like a scarecrow, I appeal to any honourable mind whether it was in human nature to feel otherwise than I did, without possessing an angelic disposition, to which I never pretended; and I fairly own that I did shed not one-fiftieth part so many tears over Tom's grave as I did over his dirty pantaloons, when forced to put them on.

No money!
They'll say that ye baith drave her awa' and keepit her bit duds. I'll see to that-�and mair forbye." Bruce understood that he referred to Annie's money.
"I'll give you a job, Owen," said Johnson, quick on his feet as the boy. "Run these horses into my wagon thar while I git some duds together before I hop the twig."
