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 unbeknownst let a few tears fall into the cream-pitcher.

I told him if neither he nor the young lady had a character to keep, I had one to lose, and I wouldn't. But I don't think he said anything to her about staying all night; for she come down the stair as innocent-like as any dove, and bid me good night smiling, and they walked away together.
But I couldn't figger Doctor Kirby would of done none. So that night after the show I says to him, innocent-like: "Doctor Kirby, what is a quest?" He looks at me kind of queer. "Wherefore," says he, "this sudden thirst for enlightenment?" "I jest run acrost the word accidental-like," I told him. He looks at me awful hard, his eyes jest natcherally digging into me.
'Nearly the same figure, Jim, he says, lookin' at me, 'suppose you try on my things and see.

"What do you want?" "Nothing, Dudder, excepting to pass." "Huh! You needn't look so innocent-like, Shep Reed! We know what you did to our boat," put in Dick Bush. "What did we do to it?" asked Whopper. "You know well enough. Think you're smart, don't you?" growled Carl. "We know what you were going to do to our boat," put in Snap. "What?"

You come here with a very singular story, and nowt to back it but a glib tongue and your smooth, innocent-like young face and you go back hame with a heaped gowpen of gold, and mair in the kist ahint of that.

'I'm glad to hear that, Reube. Mighty glad you're not a blockade-man. "'Why for? says I, innocent-like. "'Why, says he, ''tain't healthy for blockade-chaps in these parts just now.... You heard o poor Mr. Lucy?
