Humph! to tell me that when I never taken a drop, exceptin' for chills, in my life which he knows so as well as me!" The two masters began to ascend a stair. "Mais, he is a sassy; I would sell him, me," said the young Creole. "No, I wouldn't do that," replied the parson; "though there is people in Bethesdy who says he is a rascal. He's a powerful smart fool.
E-vasion I calls it, bekaze, exceptin' whin 'tis right an' natural an' proper, 'tis wrong an' dhirty to steal a man's wan child she not knowin' her own mind. There was a Sargint in the Comm'ssariat who set my face upon e-vasions. I'll tell you about that 'Stick to the bloomin' Captains, Mulvaney, said Ortheris; 'Comm'ssariat Sargints is low.

"I don't reckon I'll ever hear from you again exceptin' where Lazarus heard from the rich man!" "Don't let that trouble you, Israel," shrieked Mrs. Dodd, piercingly. "I take it the rich man was diggin' for eight cents in Satan's orchard, an' didn't have no time to look up his friends."
Arvilly wuz more bent on disseminatin' her books to help and instruct, and would have canvassed Michael Angelo himself for the "Twin Crimes," turning her back onto his most wonderful creations.

If we don't overtake her and that hoss of hers sure travels wonderful fast, somethin' wonderful, yes, ma'am, by God excuse me, lady it's sure surprisin' the way that skinny little hoss of hers will travel why, I c'n take you acrost the ford.

Lookin' back, it seems to me that exceptin' of Polly I never had a kind word said to me, nor a day's fun. Your husband, Billy P. Cullom, was the fust man that ever treated me human up to that time.

And perhaps it's a good thing they looks at 'em the wrong way; becos if they looked at 'em the right way it would scare 'em out o' their wits, especially the women same as it does my missis when she hears me and Mrs. Abel talkin'. Always exceptin' Mrs. Abel; you can't scare her; and she sees most things right way up, that she does!

"Exceptin' sometimes amongst church-members." said Parson Jones. "Mais," said the seductive St.-Ange, "Miguel and Joe is church-member' certainlee! They love to talk about rilligion.
Peter, a Texas-born Swede of immigrant parents, filled with the old Texas traditions, greasily shook hands with Wemple and Davies as well, saying "Howdy," as only the Texan born can say it.
