"Well, I've he'rd the parson of the old Independence say as how old age was deceitful; but I never seed it so true afore this blessed night.

"You lie! old man," cried Thrummings, shaking with rage.

'Och! ma'am dear, don't mention it; sure it's that makes me so down in the mouth this very minit. Sure I saw that born blackguard, Jack Waddy, and he comes in here, quite innocent-like 'Shane, you've an eye to squire's new lodge, says he.
In my experience a woman may be a fool, but 'tis within limits. Amelia Sanders, looking Phoby Geen in the face, went on tying her shoe; and, while she looked, she saw not only how terrible rash she had been, but also without a guess at the particulars that this man had been at the bottom of the whole mischief and meant to be at the bottom of more.

"'This yere fire rages for two months, an' burns up a billion dollars worth of mountains, I'm a coyote if some folks don't talk of lawin' me about it. "'That's a yarn which has the year-marks of trooth, but all the same it's deer as saves my life once, says Doc Peets, sorter trailin' in innocent-like when this Lyin' Jim gets through; 'leastwise their meat saves it.

"Funny, isn't it," he went on lightly "that a man like Bayne Trevors, hard as nails and as free of sentiment as a mule, should fancy little cooing, innocent-like pigeons? You'll hear them in the morning."
The next evening our cracker took a handful of his corn and passed innocent-like near a large, gentle hen, and dropping a few grains on into our shop quarters, the hen, following, was soon inside and the door was closed; and that hen failed to return home to roost. Uncle Tom was out at the time and never knew where that chicken came from.

Dent's ugly face grew a deep, dull red; his small eyes seemed to recede into his head, and grow deeper and more cunning. He did not speak at all for a moment or two, and when he did, the flush was succeeded by a more dangerous pallor.
Bartley nodded and blew a smoke-ring. "Miss Dorry's sure a interestin' girl," asserted Cheyenne. Bartley nodded again. "Kind of young and innocent-like." Again Bartley nodded. "It ain't a bad country to settle down in, for folks that likes to settle," said Cheyenne. Bartley glanced sharply at his companion. Cheyenne was gazing straight ahead. His face was unreadable.
She afterwards declared that when she saw the two sitting there so innocent-like, not dreaming of the comether she had put upon them, she secretly and unbeknownt let a few tears fall into the cream-pitcher.
