You, and Josh way, an' Will, an' Sam, an' the Cap'n, an' the four Beaver brothers, will all sleep in number ten. What's that, Franklin? No, sirree, the Honerable Abe, and Mister Hill, and Jedge Oglesby is sleepin' in seven."
I.B. KERFOOT, Jedge of the District Court of Fairfax County....... 1,000 shares Major THOMAS C. YANCEY, Late of the Confederate Army... 500 shares "These gentlemen are my friends, suh, and would do anythin' to oblige me." Fitz sharpened a lead pencil and without a word inserted the desired amendment. The colonel studied the document for another brief moment and struck another snag.
Slowly moving toward the desk and craning his neck he took up the ink-stand, stroked it and said: "Jedge, I'd like to borry this thing. Fetch it back in a month or so." "Put it down and get out. Wait a moment." "Told me to get out." Rap, rap! "Hold yourself in readiness to appear before the court. Now you may go." But he hesitated.
Let's go up and see what Judge Graves says about it." "Hold on," said Mr. Dodd, seizing the feed dealer by the coat, "we've got to get it fixed in our minds what we're goin' to do, first.

Finally he had to take to his bed, he was so old 'nd feeble, but he made 'em move the bed up ag'inst the winder so he could watch for that last volyume of the cyclopeedy.

Sakes alive, warn't he b'ilin'! Much as Jedge Keerfoot could do to keep him from killin' dat Yankee on de street." Chad's long brown fingers fumbled among the green pea-shells, which he heaped up on one side of the pan, and the conversation soon changed to his master's "second in the field."
"No! he struck me. I don't want any one to help me, or take my place." "That's right," said Crocker, approvingly; "that's right, Jedge, we all like that, but 'tain't square, and this camp means to hev it square. You bet!" And, in the difficult circumstances, he looked round for the approval which was manifest on every one of the serious faces.
He stepped ponderously down from the piazza and turned his broad back on the row of excited faces. "Hold on, Jedge!" the middle-aged man called after him. "Was her check any good? You didn't tell us!" The Judge did not reply. He merely waved his hand. "He's going over to the post office," surmised the lean youth, shifting the stub of his cigar to the corner of his mouth in a knowing manner.
