"You tam lowland scoon'rel!" cries he, and hit me a buffet on the jaw with his closed fist.

The Boy crowed long and loud: "'Effer ole wile rooster widder speckly tail Commer crowin' befoh de do', En yo got some comp'ny a'ready, Yo's gwinter have some mo'." Then he grunted, and went on all fours. "Kaviak!" he called, "you take warnin' "'Wen yo' see a pig agoin' along " Look here: Kaviak's never seen a pig! I call it a shame.
