'Come along ter the quayside ternight at twelve o'clock. There's a bit uf loadin' up ter be done, an' only a few uv the men are required. I don't choose none wot I don't cotton to. 'You'll cotton ter me all right, matey, I ses, with a sort uv a larf that seemed ter tickle 'im. 'I'm as close as the devil 'imself.
The neighbours described me as "a sorrowful lookin' delicate creetur', that couldn't larf to save her life" quite a different character to the girl who at Caddagat was continually chid for being a romp, a hoyden, a boisterous tomboy, a whirlwind, and for excessive laughter at anything and everything.
"But do not forget that the Lord has called us also to this work." "Even so," acquiesced Greenough. "We must not weary in well doing. The harvest is truly plenteous and the laborers are few." "Tut, tut, Pastor. Don't overdo it. You might make me larf," replied Christian; and the twain parted with knowing and yet weary smiles.
'Pick me out, says Enoch, 'four that have the loudest voices. 'Hard matter dat, says Lavender, 'hard matter dat, Massa, dey all talk loud, dey all lub talk more better nor work de idle villians; better gib 'em all a little tickle, jist to teach 'em larf on t'other side of de mouth; dat side bran' new, they never use it yet. 'Do as I order you, sir, said Uncle, 'or I'll have you triced up, you cruel old rascal you. When they were picked out and sot by themselves, they hanged their heads, and looked like sheep goin' to the shambles.
On a sudden dere was a man right 'longside ob me, an' he say, 'Make a noise or move, an' you are dead. What are you doin' here? I gasp out, 'White-rose, Cap'n Lane. 'Oh, it's you, he say, wid a low larf. Fo' I could speak dere come a scream, sich as I neber heared, den anoder an' anoder.
He was aroun' 'mong de woun'ed, an' seein' ter buryin' de dead, an' postin' an' arrangin' his men; deed, an' was all ober eberywhar. "By dis time de ebenin' was growin' dark, de woun'ed and been cared for, an' our ossifers an' de Linkum ossifers sat down to supper; an' dey talk an' larf as if dey was good fren's.
Our animals were sweating, though they were carrying nothing but the knapsacks. "Ye see dat flat stone?" said the guide. "Dat's were de gooman feller 'ide 'is gold.

We climbed higher and yet higher; we thought we would never reach the crest.
For critters that ain't human, I do suppose it spoke the truth, for it was enough to make a hoss larf, if he could understand it, that's a fact; but dirt, wretchedness and rags, don't have that effect on me. The roof was made of coarse slabs, battened and not shingled, and the chimbly peeped out like a black pot, made of sticks and mud, the way a crow's nest is.
"Reuben tells the truth. They are going to attack us in the morning," said Perez, looking up. Abner stared at him a moment, and then demanded half-sullen, half-puzzled: "Wal, Cap'n, wat dew ye see tew larf at in that? Derned ef I see nothin funny." "Your glum mug would be enough to laugh at if there was nothing else Abner," said Perez, getting up and gayly slapping the giant on the shoulder.
