Marty went out on the porch to hail him. "'I wish I was a bump A-settin' on a log, Baitin' m' hook with a flannel shirt For to ketch a frog! "And when I'd ketched m' frog, I'd rescue of m' bait An' what a mess of frog's hind laigs I wouldn't have ter ate!" "Come on in, Walky, and rest your voice."
Well, she'll give me a pair I wore for summer; honest she will, and you can put 'em on as quick as anything." "There, Herman," said Sam; "now you're all right again!" "WHO all right?" Herman complained. "I like feel sump'm' roun' my laigs befo' no five o'clock!" "Well, you're sure to get 'em by then," Penrod promised. "It ain't winter yet, Herman.

Yore a sumptious marshal, yu are! Yore th' snortingest ki-yi that ever stuck its tail atween its laigs, yu are. Yu pop-eyed wall flower, yu wants to peep to yoreself or some papoose'll slide yu over th' Divide so fast yu won't have time to grease yore pants. Pick up that license-tag an' let me see you perculate so lively that yore back'll look like a ten-cent piece in five seconds. Flit!"
Hain't you 'shamed yo'se'f, layin' heah with yer haid lookin' lak a rat's nest, an' yer laigs a-showin'? Daddy Stratton he prayed loudah, Poll she fanned fastah, an' Jane she sniffled an' snuffled harder'n evah, while Sal she jes' lay thah lak a dead corp. I knowed she heard me, though, fur she kindah flickahed her eyeleds, an' then lay stiffer'n evah.
"'Laigs is workin' like they's new oiled, Jim replies back; 'it's a plumb easy game. I reckons, Bill, me an' you could keep ahead of them mavericks a year if we-alls feels like it. "'Bet a blue stack on it, Bill answers. I deems these yere gents soft. Before I'd ride sech ponies as them, I'd go projectin' 'round some night an' steal one.
"You eatin' Lula, dat who you eatin'," Emma told him with grisly unction. "Dem 's de same laigs use to scratch roun' we kitchen do'. Dat 's de same lovin'-hearted hen I raise fum a baby. But, Lawd!

They say 't happened to sights o' other fel-lows, an' their laigs gone too, but I count 'em over on my fingers, them Holts, an' he's the third. May say that 't was all an accident his mother's gittin' throwed out o' her waggin comin' home from meetin', an' her wrist not bein' set good, an' she, bein' run down at the time, 'most lost it altogether, but thar' it is, stiffened up an' no good to her.
With a knowledge confined mainly to live- stock, the foremen inquried: "How's your laigs? I like to see 'em hairy, that-a-way; it's a sign of stren'th. I bet this college boy is as pink as a maiden's palm! He don't look to me like he could run." "They fool you sometimes," said Skinner. "By-the-way, what have you bet?" "We laid the phonograph agin their treasures an' trappin's "
"Dat's what I axin yit: who playin' Mis' Scarlett's pianner when dey wasn't nobody in de house?" "Why didn't you find out?" "Who, me?" cried the old man, with horror. "If I could er borried a extra pahr er laigs from er yaller dawg, I'd a did it right den, so 's I could run twict faster 'n I done! Whichin' please, ma'ams, lemme take you-all ter de hotel."
