"Yes, you see," said Carpenter, "there's been ha'f a dozen of the brats died this summer an' fall scarlet fever in the mill." Travis looked at him and smiled. "An' I've got to git in some mo' right away," he went on. "Oh, there's plenty of 'em in these hills."
"I wouldn't trust none o' ye farther than I could sling an elephant by his tail! As for Hopewell Drugg he never was no good, and he never will be wuth ha'f as much again!" "Well, well, well," chuckled Uncle Jason, easily. "How did this here sufferin-yet l'arn so much about the tribes o' men? I 'spect she was a spinster lady?" "She was a Miss Pogannis," was the tart reply. "Ya-as," drawled Mr. Day.
"I s'pose it does sound kind of ridic'lous," said the accepted suitor in a rather aggrieved tone, "but it wa'n't ha'f so funny when 'twas goin' on. Fust I thought I'd roast to death, then I thought I'd freeze, and then I thought I'd drown." "Perez," said the panting Eri, "you're a wonder. I'm goin' to tell Sol Bangs 'bout you next time I see him.
Gifted followed him into a dingy apartment in the attic, where one sat at a great table heaped and piled with manuscripts. By him was a huge basket, ha'f full of manuscripts also.

I tell you what you done, Mister; you walked right past that crossroad Nelse told you to turn in at. THAT would have fetched you to the Centre. Instead of doin' it you kept on as you was goin' and here you be 'way out in the fag-end of nothin'. The Centre's three mile astern and East Wellmouth's about two and a ha'f ahead. Haw, haw! that's a good one, ain't it!"
There was a bar jest about opposite the cable station it's been washed away sence and she'd struck on that, and the sea was makin' a clean breach over her.

"Nuthin' could please me better. Las' time I went to town one o' them plagued nuisances come hootin' erlong an' made the old mare back us clean inter the ditch an' I broke a dozen an' a ha'f of aigs right in the lap of my new bombazeen dress. Drat 'em all, I say!" "I am very sorry, Ma'am, that the accident occurred.
He's just come down from the shanties over on the shore by the light where the wreck was, you know and he says there's a 'morphrodite brig anchored three or four mile off and she's flyin' colors ha'f mast and union down. They're gettin' a boat's crew together to go off to her and see what's the row. I'm goin' to drive over and I thought maybe you'd like to go along.
"I'm goin' to put my bill in Squire Baker's hands for c'lection, and I'm goin' to do it tonight, too." He was on his way to the door, but two or three ran to stop him. "Don't be a fool, Obed," said Higgins. "Don't go off ha'f cocked. Maybe we're gittin' scared about nothin'. We don't know but we'll get every cent that's owed us." "Don't KNOW!
