This pleased Jerome, and he took me warmly by the hand. "Alexander the Grate was punkins," I continnered, "but Napoleon was punkinser! Alic wept becaws there was no more worlds to scoop, and then took to drinkin. He drowndid his sorrers in the flowin bole, and the flowin bole was too much for him. It ginerally is. He undertook to give a snake exhibition in his boots, but it killed him.
An' then the durned fiddler, moved by the devil, I'll be be bound, plumb furgot ter change 'em back. So they danced haf'n the day tergether. An' arter that they war forever a-stealin' off an' accidentally meetin' at the spring, an' whenst he war a-huntin' or she drivin' up the cow, an' a-courtin' ginerally, till they war promised ter marry."

I should have gone on to Black Fells Crossing; Mr. Ferrall wrote me!" Then, amused: "I suppose you have only a baggage-wagon here?" "No, Sorr a phayton" he hesitated. "Well? Isn't a phaeton all right?"
"But boys, an' men-folks ginerally, air scandalous easy ter break a promise whar whiskey is in it." "I'll hev ye ter know that when I gin my word, I keeps it!" cried Rick pridefully. He little dreamed how that promise was to be assailed before the sun should go down.
"No; he won't let me send for one. He says it's o' no use, an' he couldn't afford to pay for one. An' oh! you've no notion what a miser that poor young man is. He must have plenty of money, for the box as he takes it out on an' it's at his head he keeps it, day and night, ginerally holdin' it with one hand seems full o' money, for it's wonderful heavy.
I expeck it'd be only a poor lawyer 's couldn't argue a tack into a cow 'n' out of her again, too, f'r that matter 'n' Mr. Weskin ain't no poor " "But about Ja " " Lawyer. He's 's fine 's they make.

"I ginerally goes prepared for the most desprit emargencies, as me mither used to remark when she stowed the whisky-bottle away wid the lunch she was takin' with her. It was about the middle of yisterday afternoon that I fetched down a deer that was browsing on the bank of a small stream that I raiched, and, as a matter of coorse, I made my dinner on him.
