"Oh no, thanky'," said Lithicum, with a broad grin; "the truth is, I clean forgot my tobacco. I knowed you wasn't a chawin' man, but yore uncle is, an' he mought have left a piece of a plug lyin' round. My old woman tried to git me to use her snuff as a make-shift, but lawsy me! the blamed powdery truck jest washes down my throat like leaves in a mill-race.
"Marse Dave!" he cried. "Hush," I answered, "and follow me." He came after me, wondering, a little way into the grove, where I stopped. "Benjy," I said, "do you know any of the servants here?" "Lawsy, Marse Dave, I reckon I knows 'em, some of 'em," he answered with a grin. "You talk to them?" "Shucks, no, Marse Dave," he replied with a fine scorn, "I ain't no hand at dat ar nigger French.
Lindy, like many of her race, knew well how to assume airs of importance. Lindy had me down, and she knew it. "Marse Dave," she said, "doan yo' know better'n dat? Yo' know yo' ain't ter talk. Lawsy, I reckon I wouldn't be wuth pizen if she was to hear I let yo' talk." Lindy implied that there was tyranny somewhere. "She?" I asked, "who's she?"
He says: "I was a-listenin' to all de talk, en I slips into de river en was gwyne to shove for sho' if dey come aboard. Den I was gwyne to swim to de raf' agin when dey was gone. But lawsy, how you did fool 'em, Huck! Dat WUZ de smartes' dodge! I tell you, chile, I'spec it save' ole Jim ole Jim ain't going to forgit you for dat, honey." Then we talked about the money.
Go on, boy!" "Lawsy me!" exclaimed Mammy June, "don't none of you know how to do dat like my Sneezer. If he was here he'd show 'em. Just you dance plain, honey. Double shuffle's as much as you can do." So her grandson, 'Lias, did not try any fancy steps. Privately, however, and much to Rose's amusement, Russ Bunker often tried to copy Sam's pigeon-wing step.
The bottom of the pool was so deep that it was over the boy's head. He had to stand on the rock and gasp for breath for he had swallowed a good deal of water, having gone down with his mouth open. "What did I tell you?" demanded Frane, Junior, from the bank. "You couldn't catch that cat." "I know it!" jerked out Russ. "I know it now." "Lawsy me!" ejaculated Mammy June.
You wouldn't darst to say He didn't you, Mrs. Hopp, that's a church member!" And her white face actually drew itself into a ghastly, dreary grin. "Lawsy! He's kept pretty busy!" When she was able to stand on her feet she went back to the mill. She was a good worker, and hands were needed.
"Lawsy me, childern!" cried Mammy June. "Has you come to see how I is? I sure has got good friends, I sure has!

"Why, there was Dinah," suggested Emilie. The apple woman stared at her with both hands raised. "Dinah! Lawsy massy, honey, the only thing that chile would do was look at pictur' books an' play with the other chillen. She wouldn't even so much as pick up baby Mose when he tumbled down an' barked his shin. Oh, but she was a triflin' lazy little nigger as ever you see."
