"They're a-sayin' as how, if you're killed, the one as you knows on'll have to git some one else to look after the boy, and mebbe he won't be so smart about foolin' them." "That's an excellent idea," said I. "If they only knew that I was the other fellow they could see at once what a bright scheme they had hit upon." "Maybe they ain't a-goin' to do it," said Mother Borton.

Something was once wanted from the crazy platform over the shaft, and he at once refused to venture there "did not like," as he said, "foolin' round them kind o' places," and let my wife go instead of him, looking on with a grin.
They soon found, however, that they were not alone. Washington White had come over from the bark, and seeing what the boys were about he followed them. "Is you suah 'nuff gwine ter try an' shoot dat hugeous wallingrust, an' pull his teef?" he whispered. "Yo' boys will git killed, some day, foolin' wid sech critters."

"Well," he says, "you jist mosey right into the house and put that back in the fiddle-box where you got it. Go on, now. And if I catch you foolin' with my things again, I'll.... Well, I don't know what I will do to you." So I put it back.

But Mrs. Atterson told Hiram, when he asked about Sister's meagre little story, that the institution had promised to let her know if the lawyer ever returned to make further inquiries about the orphan.
Andy put on his hat, glanced at the sun, and strode to his pony. Far across the eastern desert he saw the posse a mere moving dot against the blue. "Wolf-hungry to make a killin' because they're foolin' themselves that they're actin' out the law! Well, come on, Chico, old hoss, we got to make home before sundown."
"But you'll be havin' the bees foolin' around while we're at breakfast, if you're not careful. What you goin' ter smoke 'em out with?" "Sulphur," Rube answered promptly. "I got a chunk in me pocket; been usin' it t' put in my bear cub's drinkin' water." Rube was in more haste than he need have been to disturb the bees.

“I is done my night wurk, too,” returned Betsy whimpering but defiantly, as she retreated beyond reach of further blows from Aunt Belindy’s powerful right hand. “Dat harshness o’ yourn, Belindy, is wat’s a sourin’ yo’ tempa, an’ a turnin’ of it intur gall an’ wormwood. Does you know wat de Scripture tells us of de wrathful woman?” “Whar I got time to go a foolin’ wid Scripture?
Leastways I've felt it ever sence I left th' clearin'." And as they swung away from the spring toward the Holding, far ahead under its cottonwoods, he let out the young horse for another stretch. "Bet Golden can beat El Rey up home," he said over his shoulder. "Beat th' king?" cried Tharon aghast, "you're foolin', Billy, an' I don't want to run nohow. I've run enough this day."
