Mighty few nice bits would the old man git wasn't it for you and Miss Eulie. Then I watch the good people goin' to church. 'Mazin' few out wet Sundays. 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.

I s'pose you'm thinkin' of the time when Joe Noy comes home. I lay you'll have a honeymoon anyways." "Iss, that you may depend 'pon," said Mrs. Tregenza.

He then went to his mother, desiring that she would go and spend the night at a neighbour's, shewing her the gold which his broken copper had procured, as a proof of the sincerity of his new friend.
"Well, Massa," said he, "I don't know to a zact sartainty, for I was not dere when she was tooked ill, I was at de bank at de time, but I will take my davy it was hogs or dogs.
