Don't be afeared; bar meat won't hurt ye more'n liftin' on a stick o' basswood."
The preccippice isn't very deep bein not above heighy feet or therabouts the hosses is got up but is very bad the carrige lies on its back and we can't stir it nohow. Mr. is very kind, and has lent above a hunderd niggers, but they aint no more use than cats at liftin. Plese Zur come and see whats to be done. "Your Humbel Servt, "H. PERKES."
She thought of herself sitting in her place in Mount Zion Church, with ole Br'er Shadrach Timmons liftin' up de tune, fat Sist' Mindy Sawyer fanning herself with a palm-leaf fan and swaying back and forth in time to the speretual, and busybody Deacon Williams rolling his eye to see that nobody took too long a swallow out of the communion cup he passed around.
Isna there the wee room up the stair, wi' a bed in't that micht sair the king himself sheets as white as the driven snaw, and guid stripped druggit curtains just oot o' the mangle?" "Weel, weel, guidwife, ony way ye like as to thae matters," replied Adair; "and I'll awa, in the meantime, and get haud o' the siller. There's gowd yonner for the liftin. Deil o' the like o't ever I saw."
"Yeh'll not see open water till the river cleans the swamps of lilies," growled Crump. "I never seen the beat of 'em! The high water's liftin' 'em from ponds where they never been touched by a boat's wheel and they're out in the channels now. If yeh make the plantations yeh'll have to keep eastard and then up the Atchafalaya and buck the main flood water, Tedge!" Tedge knew that, too.
He floundered me around consid'able for a spell, but at last in tryin' to jam me against the wall I got hold of his mane. I braced my feet against the wall an' liftin' myself, I got his ear in my mouth an' I bit it. It was a trick I'd learned from ol' Monody, an' I sure bit hard an' close to the head. For mighty nigh a minute he stood it fightin', an' then he give a groan.
Quickly recoverin' himself, he hoarsely ordered the crew to git the stomach and internals av that shaark overboard and git cleaned down.

As his belly was cut wide open, they went through him an' came to the surface.
Come to think of thet, I disremember ever hearin' of his liftin' his big hands in blessin' over a woman. Wal, when I seen him last jest a little while ago he was on his knees, not prayin', as I remarked an' he was pressin' his big hands over some bigger wounds." "Man, you drive me mad! Did Lassiter kill Dyer?" "Yes." "Did he kill Tull?" "No. Tull's out of the village with most of his riders.
"You absurd youth!" says she, liftin' both hands protestin', but failin' to smother that smile. And say, when it's aimed straight at you so you get the full benefit, that's some winnin' smile of hers sort of genuine and folksy, you know! It got me. Why, I felt like I'd been put on her list of old friends. And I grins back. "It wa'n't a case of another party, was it?" says I.
'Then, father, he cried, 'it's with an aisy heart I'll roll in me flamy blankets, the broad of me back on a bed of coals. Niver shall it be said that Lon McFane took a lie 'twixt the teeth without iver liftin' a hand!
