The sentry stopped. "How many 'longin' to de Lamars? 'Bout as many as der's dam' Yankees in Richmond 'baccy-houses!" Something in Dave's shrewd, whitish eye warned him off. "Ki yi! yer white nigger, yer!" he chuckled, shuffling down the stubble.
"So, then, you're actually in charge of the mine?" said Martin, in surprise. "Jist so, boy; but I'm tired of it already; it's by no means so pleasant as I expected it would be; so I'm thinkin' o' lavin' it, and takin' to the say again. I'm longin' dreadful to see the salt wather wance more." "But what will the owner say, Barney: won't he have cause to complain of your breaking your engagement?"

"Against her father! against your own husband!" exclaimed Mave, looking aghast at this information.
Let's save our money fer them wot needs it at home. Let me tell ye somethin'. Comin' down the road from the boom to-night I felt like seven devils. I was jist longin' to git into that saloon an' have a big drink. But as luck 'ud have it I went into the post office first, an' found this here letter. An' who is it from, d'ye think?
