"Ah, he's a queer fellow, that Lovell," said he; "but he's quick to larn, they say, larns like a book. I'll tell ye what's the trouble with him, teacher.

He's thirty odd now, I guess, and I reckon he ain't never been further away from the beach than Sandwich te-own."
"Oh, they larn fast enough," said Tim. "You've only got to point to a bottle of water, or to the fire, or whatever else you want, and swear at them, and they understand directly. I've tried it myself, over and over again." "There, Tim, it's no use standing talking any longer. Bring in the moonshee."
"Why, no, Judy," said Katy, somewhat elated because she had been first to recognize and welcome the stranger. "Why, no, I can’t say he did, and ’tain’t nateral like that he should set so much store by you, as by me.

These be things that a man is soon expart in, but it takes the time of his nat'ral life to larn to know the weather.
"Ye'll larn a pretty smart chance of things ye never did know, before I've done with ye!" said Legree, taking up a cowhide, and striking Tom a heavy blow cross the cheek, and following up the infliction by a shower of blows. "There!" he said, as he stopped to rest; "now, will ye tell me ye can't do it?" "Yes, Mas'r," said Tom, putting up his hand, to wipe the blood, that trickled down his face.
"And I'll warrant," said Jacob, "as publicans'll not be particular as to a gallon or two about giving them the full worth of their brass." "Not they, you may be very sure; and as soon as the publican has squeezed them dry, out they go, neck and crop." "And don't that larn 'em better?" asked Jacob. "Not a bit of it," replied his companion; "for there's no fool like a drunken fool.

You must larn to chaw baccy and drink grog, and then you knows all a midshipman's expected to know nowadays.
"I do, mother," said Mike earnestly and without a tinge of jealousy in his tone. He loved and admired Pat with all his heart. "You can larn it, too, if you only think so," encouraged Mrs. O'Callaghan. "There's them that think's that cookin's a special gift, and they're right, too.
"Hanimals!" cried the coxswain, with an incredulous smile; "well, sir, I always took 'em to be weggitables. We live and larn, sure enough. Are cabbage and hingions hanimals too?"
