They gets too much notion of goin' ter law an' thet's plumb fatal. Ye'd better stay where ye b'longs, Samson, an' let good enough be." "Why hain't ye done told about all the rest of the Souths thet didn't hev no eddication," suggested the youngest South, "thet got killed off jest as quick as them as had hit?"
"She means a corduroy road, I guess," said Gladys, and they all shouted with laughter. "Ho-ho-ho!" chuckled Slim, "that's pretty good. Velvetine road! Would there be any binnacles on it, do you suppose?" he added teasingly. "That's right, everybody insult a poor old woman what ain't never had a chance to get an eddication!" sobbed Katherine, shedding mock tears into her handkerchief.
"It would take a week, Doctor, to tell you what a rough-an'-tumble time I had on that 'are whaler. There's a feller's writ a book about v'yagin' afore the mast that'll give ye an idee on't; he had an eddication so't he could set it off, and I fell foul of his book down to Valparaiso more'n a year back, and I swear I wanted to shake hands with him.
He was a silly, pasty-faced sort o' chap, always giving hisself airs about eddication to sailormen who didn't believe in it, and one night, when we was homeward-bound from Sydney, he suddenly sat up in 'is bunk and laughed so loud that he woke us all up. "Wot's wrong, cookie?" ses one o' the chaps. "I was dreaming," ses the cook, "such a funny dream.
O' co'se, being' in a law office is des as pervidin', but somehow hit do seem mo' worl'y." "Didn't I tell you de preachahs is ez worldly ez anybody else?" "Yes, yes, dat's right, but den 'Rastus, he had de eddication, fo' he had gone thoo de Third Readah."

Mis' Kittridge, she broke me o' that, and now I don't never go further than 'I vum' or 'I swow, or somethin' o' that sort; but you see I'm old; Moses is young; but then he's got eddication and friends, and he'll come all right. Now you jest see ef he don't!"
My eddication ain't none of the best, and my hand's more used to a marline spike than it is to a pen." "Willingly. What do you want to advertise?" "I want to put a notice in for my brother-in-law. I'll give you all the particulars." "Very well. Have you pen, ink and paper?" "Yes; Betty, will you bring 'em?" Mrs. Linyard nodded.
"And further still, that poor little deluded, cold-potato-fed woman was on my mind. "'You mean, says I to her my eddication in the Mormon Church, and what I learned about play-actin' in St. Looey, standin' me in handy for manners 'that these here children, the offspring of cold water and vegetables, is expected to pass to-morrow in prayer and meditation, and be better for it?
That's all right till they go to sea, and then they 'ave to be men, and good men too. They get knocked about a bit, o' course, but that's all part o' the eddication, and when they get bigger they pass the eddication they've received on to other boys smaller than wot they are.
Cullen went on. "He came from over by Murray's;" and he pointed away in the direction whence Slaughter had come, and which was also the direction of the Murray selection. "Old Cold-blood's a man of eddication, and eddication, you take my tip, is the joker in a hand like this. The old man's right. This ain't our game. We've got our hands full watching how things go.
