But no doubt they've all got the 'sperit' to go. They would jist as lief be sawn in two pieces 'in sperit' as not, if they can only sleep late in the mornin' and have a good dinner and save their Sunday-go-to-meetin' clothes from gettin' wet.
"It will do you a sight of good," said she, "and there's no kind of use why you should stay hived up with me. I'd as lief be left alone as not, and I shall take comfort thinkin' you're larnin' to play the pianner, for I've allus wondered 'Tildy didn't set you at Car'line's.
And if I mun have a baby, I'd lief it was like Ed'ard, and not like you. With that she went out of the room, and he noticed that she was wearing the dress she had come in, and not the silk. He sat by the fire, brooding; but at last managed to cheer himself by the thought that she would get over it in time. She was naturally upset by Sally just now.
This, he explained, was usquebaugh, "ta watter of life," and the spice of poetry in the description tempted the Colonel and me to try a dram. The Colonel probably had had worse drink in his time, but even he made no comment. I would almost as lief have had a blank charge fired into my mouth.

Tom had condescendingly informed her, about six months ago, that he'd just as lief she would make him a watch-case if she wanted to very much. Girls always would jump at the chance to get up any such nonsense.
"Berries is all mighty nigh cleaned out," he said one noon, when he was about to start out again after dinner. "Uncle Billy says there's lots of 'em down in the gandah thicket, but I'se mos' afeered to go there." "Nothin' won't tech you in daylight, honey," answered Mammy, encouragingly, "but I would n't go through there at night for love or money I'd as lief go into a lion's cage."
" Wouldn't any fair-minded person that knows what France was two or three hundred years ago show you some day in the 'Album' about as lief be descended from a good deal of that peasantry as from a good deal of that nobility? I should smile! Why, my dear friend, the day's coming when the Acadians will be counted as good French blood as there is in Louisiana!
I think I see his eye now, and I would as lief have a loaded pistol at my head as that eye again fixed on mine." "Pooh!
