She kept away from him as much as possible, for she feared that she might be tempted to blurt out just what she thought of his ridiculous stories.

"Well, I think that will about do for you, Hans," said Frank. "Come in here, Gallup, if you want to show what you can do." Ephraim promptly accepted the invitation and came galloping in from the field.
"Cap'n Abe warn't no seafarin' man," pursued Betty, "though he had the lingo on his tongue and 'peared as salt as a dried pollock. It's in my mind that he wouldn't never re'lly go to sea 'nless he was egged on to it." Here it was again!
