"But you've been so masterful and obstinate, Master Bertie, since you broke your arm!" "It's not at all kind of you to disappoint us on father's wedding-day." "Well, Mr. Melcombe shall judge.

They know thar's a president, because the men folks's voted for him, and the women folks's seed his pictur. They've heered tell about the judges; and they've seed the revenuers in flesh and blood.
Tulliver, desiring her daughter to have a curled crop, "like other folks's children," had had it cut too short in front to be pushed behind the ears; and as it was usually straight an hour after it had been taken out of paper, Maggie was incessantly tossing her head to keep the dark, heavy locks out of her gleaming black eyes, an action which gave her very much the air of a small Shetland pony.

Oh, how can anybody be so stingy!" "Sh-sh, sh-h, Serena. Don't speak so of the dead. Why, we ought to be mournin' for her, really, instead of rejoicing over what she left us. It ain't right to talk so. I'm ashamed of myself or I ought to be. But, you see, I thought sure the letter was from those hat folks's lawyers, sayin' they'd started suit.
Alden Gobble, and Minister, there ain't a word of truth in it from beginnin' to eend. If ever I come near hand to him agin, I'll larn him but never mind, I say nothin'.
