I never did know much, but I'm learnin'. I'm man enough now to know all about what you mean when you say 'but then. Come, it's all over. But I can't bear to see you cry. Please stop, Miss Lady.

'Don't mind learnin' my drill, but I'm not goin' to ass about the country with a toy Snider. Perowne, what are you goin' to do? Hogan's joinin'." "Don't know whether I've the time," said Perowne.
'Willie couldn't hit the broadside of a bam, said Tip. 'He don't take to it nat'ral. 'Killin' an' book learnin' don't often go together, said Uncle Eb.

He might, you know; an', bein' older an' with more learnin', he would have the start of me." "I do not think that Mr. Edward has any ambition to be President, Jim," I answered, reassuringly.

Maybe I ain't had no learnin' in politeness, but it seems to me I would a been a little more so, just the same, if I'd been in her place. She don't like me, she don't, an' I why, I just hates her! Her with her ombril up, an' not a cloud in sight!" Layson looked at her and laughed.
