"That's true, Jack Brace," responded Adams, with a grave nod; "an', d'ye know, it strikes me that it would be better for all of us if we'd think oftener in that fashion when we've got time to do it." "You're right, John Adams; you're right. Hows'ever, we hadn't much time to think that morning, for the shot soon began to tell.
If I on'y part with 'im, my friend keeps 'im for me, and we may meet again, but if I sell 'im, he's gone for ever! Don't you see?

'It ain't Locks as YOU'VE been a reckoning up, said Riderhood, when the schoolmaster's eyes came back again. 'No, no! 'What other calculations do you suppose I have been occupied with? Mathematics? 'I never heerd it called that. It's a long word for it. Hows'ever, p'raps you call it so, said Riderhood, stubbornly chewing his grass. 'It. What?
They kep' him to it, hows'ever, and he did his work, 'wouldn't ha' done it, he concluded. 'I'd ha' gone afore the Bench first; though that ain't mostly any good in these 'ere country places. This disclosure interested me, for I myself belonged provisionally to one of the light-fingered professions.
