Why, dodrabbit ye, Leezur!" said this native Artichoke, "ye never done an ongodly thing in yer life 'cept, maybe," he added, "to cuss a little when ye was fishin' for the bucket." "'Specially," said Captain Leezur intelligently, "when the women folks has been thar afore ye, r'ilin' the water and jabbin' of her furder deown."
It was the fall packet, an' as winter was just about due we was hustlin' 'long for all we was worth, an' jabbin' holes in the river with our paddles as fast as we could, in fear o' the freeze up. "As bad lack would have it, that very night the ice overtook us, an' we had to leave the canoe ashore an' finish the voyage afoot.
Slowly I brought him to his knees, my fingers all the time workin' deeper into his throat, while his right kept jabbin' me till it made me grunt. No one tried to interfere at first; but then he got too weak to strike. Barbie said sharply, "Happy Hawkins, stop that at once!" "I'll stop as soon as he promisses to go without further trouble," sez I.
But I 'lows the end ain't allus jest the same. Sometimes y'll find a rope hangin' in the air. Sometimes ther's a knife jabbin' around; sometimes ther's a gun wi' a light pull waitin' handy, same as mine. But I figger all them things mean jest 'bout the same. It's death, pardner; an' it ain't easy neither. Say, you an' me's pretty nigh that end. You 'special. Guess you're goin' to pass over fust.

In the cozy little library Vee pushes Marion down on a window seat and camps beside her. Trust Vee for jabbin, the probe right in, too. "Tell me," she demands whispery, "was was he at it again?"
But he wuz loath to give up this floatin' woodhouse and went on: "How handy it would be for a picnic, jest fill the woodhouse full of Highlariers and set off, baskets, bundles and all. It would do away with parasols; no jabbin' 'em into a man's eyes, or proddin' his ears with the pints of umbrells. Or on funeral occasions," sez he, "jest load the mourners right in, onhitch the room and sail off.
"And though he's only a doctor, he jest stuck up agin' the kernel, and told that story about your jabbin' that man with your scissors beautiful; and how you once fought off a bear with a red-hot iron, so that you'd have admired to hear him. He's awfully gone on you!" The widow took that opportunity to button her cuff.
