Well, he was courtin Sister Sall she was a real handsum lookin gall; you scarce ever seed a more out and out complete critter than she was a fine figur head, and a beautiful model of a craft as any in the state: a real clipper, and as full of fun and frolick as a kitten.
"Sais I to myself, 'A joke is a joke, if it tante carried too far, but this critter win be strangled, as sure as a gun, if he lays here splutterin' this way much longer. So I jist gives the hoss a dab in the mouth, and made him git up; and then sais I, 'Prince, sais I, for I know'd him by his beard, he had one exactly like one of the old saint's heads in an Eyetalian pictur, all dressed to a pint, so sais I, 'Prince, and a plaguy handsum man he is too, and as full of fun as a kitten, so sais I, 'Prince, and what's better, all his officers seemed plaguy proud and fond of him too; so sais I, 'Prince, voila le condition of one colonist, which, sais I, 'Prince, means in English, that leftenant is jist like a colonist.
I had him when he was a two year old, all legs and tail, like a devil's darnin needle, and had him broke on purpose by father's old nigger, January Snow.
