She had thrilled him. "After my Uncle Max that lives in uh Australia." "I've never heard you talk of any Uncle Max," said Mrs. Pardee, coldly. But the name had won. How could they know that Maxine would grow up to be a rather bony young woman who preferred these high-collared white silk blouses; and said "eyether." Maxine had been about twelve when Okoochee beckoned Sam Pardee.
Have I not gradually adopted everything that would in any way enhance my opportunities for advancement, even through tedious evolution, from the paper collar up to the finger bowl, eyether, and nyether? This should convince the reader that I am not seeking to clog the wheels of progress.
Perfectly easy when you know how!" And old Hemlock winked at me. "So spill out your little story to me, one mouthful at a time, and don't get all balled up while you're telling it either, or eyether."
I sayed afore, an' I say so still, thet I'd ruther she war dead that in the arms o' thet ere stinkin' Mormon. Poor Marian! she's hed but a short life, o' 't, an' not a very merry one eyether." "What! Marian? Is it of her you are speaking?" "Why, sartin, capt'n. Who else shed it be?" "Marian dead?" "Yes poor girl, she never lived to see that Salt Lake city whar the cussed varmint war takin' her.
No-o, she wasn't perfectly awful yes, she was pretty bad," Theodora admitted. "Wasn't she, Babbie?" "Oh, well" Barbara hesitated "she's of course she's terribly common.

I suppose before she has been in school a full term she will have discovered the impracticability of her uncle's method of settling the vexed question as to the pronunciation of "either" and "neither."

I told papa and mamma, and they said to say them the way my teacher did; and I told my teacher, and she said to say them the way papa and mamma did! I couldn't say them two ways at once; and I didn't know which one way to say them.

Tis good to have an eye to him & you think it not worth while to keep him eyether sell him or send him to Virginia or the Barbadoes." William Pyncheon had also a slave who was "assiduous in hangeing."
