Let me have the boy under me no meddlin' from anybody for a couple of months. Let him sign reg'lar articles and ship 'long of me for that time. Maybe I could make a white man of him." "I don't b'lieve he'd do it." "I cal'late I could talk him into it. There's some butter on my tongue when it's necessary." "You'd have to promise not to lay a hand on him in anger. That's what I promised his mother."
A' doot he hed bin meddlin' wi' speerits, and they were wheelin' him tae his kerridge in a luggage barrow. It wes a fearsome sicht, and eneugh tae keep ony man frae speakin' aboot intoxicat in yon louse wy."
Christopher," the storekeeper added after a moment, "an' I'd keep my hands from meddlin' with him, if I was you. That thing shan't happen agin at my place, an' it wouldn't have happened then if I'd been around at the beginnin'.

With flashing eyes he sprang toward the tormentor, and demanded that he should leave Nancy alone. For an instant only Sammie stared, amazed to think that any one would dare to be so bold with him. He then gave a laugh of contempt, and hit Rod full in the face. "That's what ye git fer meddlin'," he cried. "Want some more, eh?"
"I won't stand and see it done." "Better not mix in," admonished the teamster. "Them air Southerners is pretty savage folks, and don't like any meddlin' twixt them and their niggers. What's a nigger, anyway?" "Amounts to about as much as a white-livered teamster," said the Deacon hotly. "I'm goin' to mix in. I'll not see any man murdered while I'm around.
"I wish to speak to him," said La Fleur, and with a very slight nod of the head she left the kitchen by the door that led into the grounds. Looking after her, Molly exclaimed, "Drat you, for a stuck-up, cross-grained, meddlin', bumble-bee-backed old hag of a soup-slopper; to come stickin' yer big nose into other people's kitchens!
"She comes here to tell you how to cook for those people?" said Miss Panney, quickly. "Indade she does, an' it's none of her business, nather, the meddlin' auld porpoise." "Molly," said Miss Panney, "go away and leave me here. I want to talk to this woman." "Which is more than I do," said the cook, and straightway departed to the floor above. La Fleur had come to see Mrs.
Reckon they done forgot what our Heabenly Marster told 'em when he lived here in old Kentuck, how they must dig the truck out of thar own eyes afore they go to meddlin' with others; but they never think of him these days, 'cept Sundays, and then as soon as meetin' is out they done git together and talk about you and Mas'r Graham orfully.
"He's about the same as he was," she said, "an' as he's loike to be width thim little draps of midicine; but if you're a docther, sir, it ain't for me to be meddlin', an' sayin' that one of thim Pepper Pod Plasters width howles in it would do more good to his poor back than thim draps inside of him." "Rheumatism is not treated externally so much as it used to be," I said.
