Hopkins looked benignantly upon the more than middle-aged tabby, slumbering as if she had never known an enemy, and turned smiling to Mistress Kitty. "Why, bless your heart, Kitty, our old puss would n't know a mouse by sight, if you showed her one. If I was a mouse, I'd as lieves have a nest in one of that old cat's ears as anywhere else. You couldn't find a safer place for one."
Should you just as lieves tell me?" She lifted her head until it held a noble pose. Her eyes shone brilliantly, though indeed they were doves' eyes. "I'll tell you," said she. "I couldn't have told you ten years ago, no, nor five! but now it's an old woman talking to an old man. I was given to understand you were tired of me, and too honorable to say so. I don't know what tale was carried to you"
Now if you'd just as lieves, we'll try and get madam down to the boat; I've just bailed it out. The river may be a trifle roughish yet, but there's no danger." Ben directed this portion of his speech to Mr. James Harrington, who stood by in silence, without appearing to regard the conversation.
Then he came and stood close beside Dr. Lavendar. "Lookee here," he said tremulously, "I'll call you Edward. I'd just as lieves as not." There was a full minute's silence.

Now, as she sat in the apple-tree swinging her legs and sharing her taffy, it occurred to her to mention, apropos of nothing, her opinion of Mrs. Maitland's looks: "I like Blair's mother best; but David's mother is prettier than Blair's mother."
"Theodora," she would begin, "Theodora, listen to me a minute," and the gift of God would make aimless pugilistic passes at her interlocutor. "O Theodora, I'm awful tired of stayin' down here on the ground. Wouldn't you just as lieves play you was a mad bull an' I was a lady in a red dress?" Theodora, after some space spent in apparent contemplation, would wave a cheerful acquiescence.

Not that I care about that; I don't deign to speak to them; and if heaven is for them, I had just as lieves stay a while outside, for they an' I could never git along together here, and we couldn't be expected to there. But did you want anything perticular of me?"
"I don't know, Aunt Melissa," said Amanda, nervously clearing the table of its pile of snowy cloth, and taking a flying glance from the window. She looked like a harassed animal, hunted beyond its endurance; but suddenly a strange light of determination flashed into her face. "Should you just as lieves set the table," she asked, in a tone of guilty consciousness, "while I start the kitchen fire?
But I drawed him back, and sez I, "If you've got to be killed here, Josiah Allen, I don't want you killed by a Arab." And he sez, "I d'no but I'd jest as lieves be killed by a Arab as a Turkey. "But," sez he, "you tend to yourself, and I'll tend to myself. I wuz jest a-studyin' human nater, Samantha." And that wuz all the thanks I got for rescuin' him.
