I've seen her pass Eb right by in the road an' never look at him when he first come home," said John Stover. "If she hadn't felt bad, she wouldn't have cared one way or t'other," insisted Henry Merrill. "'Tain't for us to judge.
Uncle Eb scolded him and tried to send him back, but I pleaded for the poor creature and that settled it, he was one of our party. 'Dunno how we'll feed him, said Uncle Eb. 'Our own mouths are big enough t' take all we can carry, but I hain' no heart t' leave 'im all 'lone there.
He felt that he could not trust himself, so great was his agitation. Without a word to anyone Eben left the wharf, walked a few yards along the river, and disappeared among some bushes.

There are, for example, at least twenty vowel sounds in the English language, not to speak of certain digraphs; that is to say, each of the important vowels has from two to six sounds.

'I declare it's mos' one o clock They's jes' one other piece o' business if come before this meetin'. Double or single, want ye if both promise me t'be hum Crissmus. We promised. 'Now childern, said he. ''S time if go if bed.

Wonder how Eben's makin' out." "The poor boy must be greatly worried, Sam'l. Maybe he'll come home before morning." "Mebbe he will, Martha. I never thought of that. But he'll not worry about the loss of the boat.
