He carried his camp-kettle back to the house, set it down, and making some excuse, set off for the Sutler's shop. "Le'me see your best paper and envelopes," he said to the pirate who had license to fleece the volunteers. "Awfully common trash," said Shorty, looking over the assortment disdainfully, for he wanted something superlatively fine for his letter.
"What d'ye have yesterday?" "Some crusts I found in the street. Do go off an' le'me 'lone. We're most dead, an' I'm glad of it," moaned the girl, drearily. "You gi' me that baby an' come along.
"Are you sure, sure you're not disappointed about about that peony-girl?" demanded the singer lady, as she came into the circle of Mother Mayberry's arm and nozzled her little nose under the white lawn tie. "Le'me see," answered Mother Mayberry in a puzzled tone of voice. "I seem to understand you, but not to know what you are talking about."
Le'me see, now, says she, 'who could put that through for us. No use fooling with the Territorial delegates. I guess, says she, 'that Senator Sniper would be about the man. He's from somewheres in the West. Let's see how he stands on my private menu card. She takes some papers out of a pigeon-hole with the letter 'S' over it.
The women glanced indifferently at Theodore as he entered, and kept on with their loud talk. Theo crossed over to Tommy's cot. The sick boy had pulled his pillow over his head and was pressing it close to his ears to shut out the racket. "Le'me 'lone!" he exclaimed, as Theodore tried to lift the pillow. His face was drawn with pain and there were dark hollows beneath his heavy eyes.
If I was to go to work and tell you outright that you couldn't win Lucy, you'd get bull-headed and try to show me. But le'me tell you this: You ain't goin' to win her till you get next to yourself. Now, Lucy's a pretty popular dame with the fellas about the restaurant. I've seen her joy-ridin' with fellas I know are there with the coin, and savvy more in a minute than you ever knew.
"It's true I ain't one o' the color-guard yit," mused Shorty, studying the picture, "but the Colonel sorter hinted that I might be, if Cap McGillicuddy could spare me from Co. Q, which ain't at all likely. Now, Mister, le'me see some pens." "Here's some Gillott's best quality," said the sutler's clerk. "Naw," said Shorty contemptuously. "Don't want no common steel pens. Goin' to write to a lady.

See, we are still closer to the mark, for we have already wiped off the two-thirds." "We are warm!" Dixie cried, with the laugh of a child playing a game. "Now let's try ninety-six." Henley made a rapid calculation.
"I declare, I forgot to fire at all!" exclaimed Ned. "I never once thought of my pistol." "Ha! ha! ha!" roared Jerry. "You've got the 'buck-fever' my boy. I might a knowed you wouldn't a fired; no, nor you, neither," continued he, turning towards Hal. "But I did fire twice, though," said Hal. "Le'me see yer pistol, youngster," said Jerry; after examining it, he again burst into a loud laugh.
Molly broke one of the curving plumes. "I don't see as it smells at all," she said, still sniffing delicately. "Le'me take it! Why, yes, it does, too! Everything smells some. Oftentimes it's so faint it's more like a feelin' than a smell. But there! you ain't a witch, as I be!" "I wish you wouldn't say that!" put in Molly, courageously. "You make people think you are."
