"Nowe," aw said; "it didn't come fro' th' hall; it awlus grow'd here." "Well, if thaa'll tell me which it is, thaa shall hev it; where abaats is it?" 'Mr. Penrose, did yo' ever try an' shap' your mouth to tell a lass as yo' luved hir? Mr. Penrose remained silent. 'Well, if ever yo' did, then yo' know haa aw felt when hoo axed me where th' flaar were as aw wanted.
"But it is me, daddy," cried the poor youth, almost sobbing aloud as he kissed the hand he held, "why, you old curmudgeon, I thought you'd 'ave know'd the voice o' yer own son! I've grow'd a bit, no doubt, but it's me for all that. Look at me!"
Yes, they don't seem to be quite so far down on the shoes as when I left Yarmouth. I must have grow'd an inch or two since I came up to Lun'on!"
One of the ole salves would come to our cabin with his fiddle and we'd dance. After I'se grow'd up, I'se wo'ked for Mrs. Susan Lovell, that was the ole masters married daughter. She lived down the road from his fa'm. She was good to me! You see I was named after Susan Lovell. It was while I was wo'kin' fo' her when the war ended. She told me I was free after the war was over.
"Mandy Ann was de nuss girl what looked after her an' ole Miss." Then to Amy he said, "Mandy Ann's done grow'd like you, an' got chillen as big as you.

"I shook the little critter off and brought up my rifle again when, durn my skin, if the bird didn't light right on to the same place; at the same time my eyes grow'd kind o' hazy-like and in a minute I didn't know nothing.
Yes, I grow'd up in slavery times. I used to carry tubs of clothes down to the old spring house, there was plenty of water, and I'se washed all the clothes there. Me and my sisters used to wash and sing and we had a good time. I can't remember much of the ole song's its been so long ago. I had two brothers, and they jined the war and fought in the army. One was named Harry and 'tother Peter.
Look round, select a good critter, and hold on to the tail, for dear life, and see if you hante a patron, worth havin'. You don't want none yourself, but you might want one some time or another, for them that's a comin' arter you. "When I was a half grow'd lad, the bears came down from Nor-West one year in droves, as a body might say, and our woods near Slickville was jist full of 'em.
'You must ask Him for yourself, she said, after thinking for a minute or two: 'I don't know as it 'ud do for me to ask God, if you didn't as well. 'What shall I say, Meg? asked Kitty. 'If I was you, said Meg, 'and had grow'd up wicked, and run away from mother, I'd say, "Pray God, make me a good girl again, and let me be a comfort to mother till she dies; for Jesus Christ's sake. Amen."
