"The Bostwicks must have been dark people," said Tunis evenly. But he remembered in a flash the "fool's gold" which had adorned in rich profusion the head of the girl in the lace department of Hoskin & Marl's. "Well, the Honeys warn't. None I ever see, leastways," announced Cap'n Ira. "Howsomever, Ida May fits her mother's maiden name in disposition, if ever a gal did.
It had no real need to seek that damp, artificial heat. We were in the very heart of that Creole summer-time when bird-notes are many as the sunbeams. The flowers were in such multitude they seemed to follow one about, offering their honeys and perfumes and begging to be gathered.
Lak 'nough befo' de mawnin's ober yo'll take a lesson yo'-self," and Jess ended his tirade by throwing an arm across each silky neck and saying to his charges: "Now, come 'long wid ole Jess, honeys. Yo's gwine enter high sassiety presen'ly, and yo's gotter do Severndale credit. Yo' hyer me?" Poor Dawson was decidedly perturbed in his mind.
"Bless your hearts, honeys," she replied, "you must have some onions in your stew!" She could not comprehend the possibility of a beef stew without onions, even though she had formally agreed to make it. Dr. Hodge's premises in the discussion of the duty of truthfulness rule out onions; but his inferences and conclusions have the odor and the taste of onions.
"I can't see anything about her that looks like any of the Honeys, let alone Sarah." "Huh! No. Only that her hair's sorter red," returned Cap'n Ira, "like Sarah's was." The visitor proved her position in the household by sitting idly in a rocking-chair looking over some pictures which were on the table or staring out of the window.

I can't take you for nothing, but I'll give you supper and breakfast, and the best bed I can, for five shillings."
Roscoe has built straight across the street from us, you know. Honestly, Sibyl makes me think of a snake, sometimes the way she pulls the wool over people's eyes! She honeys up to papa and gets anything in the world she wants out of him, and then makes fun of him behind his back yes, and to his face, but HE can't see it!
My feet'll drop off soon I 'specs." "Will they, really, Dinah?" asked Freddie. "And can we watch 'em fall?" "Bress yo' hearts, honeys!" exclaimed the colored cook, "I didn't mean it jest dat way. But suffin's suah gwine t' happen I feels it in mah bones!" And something was to happen, though not exactly what Dinah expected. Finally all was in readiness for the guests.
Thinking he might have something important to communicate, the mate accordingly backed I the main yard, and a rope being thrown, the stranger kept hauling in upon it, and coiling it down, crying, "pay out! pay out, my honeys; ah! but you're noble fellows!" Till at last the mate asked him why he did not come alongside, adding, "Haven't you enough rope yet?"
