'Had a long visit with Mirandy. They ain't no likelier womern in Ameriky. I'll bet a pint o' powder an' a fish hook on that. Ye kin look fer 'em till yer eyes run but ye'll be obleeged to give up.
We do not allow that in the most civilized countries, and still less would it be tolerated in Hoopole County. But Mirandy told the master the fact that she was in love with him, though no word passed her lips. She walked by him from school. She cast at him what are commonly called sheep's-eyes. Ralph thought them more like calf's eyes. She changed the whole tone of her voice.
Miranda flushed to the roots of her thick black hair. "It looks better to see a man round on a farm, if he can't do anything but set on the choppin'-block and whistle," she said, intently surveying her hat-crown. "If you want to get married, Mirandy, it seems if you ought to have a stiddy, likely man." "I don't want to get married.
"Oh, aunt Jane and I get along splendidly," exclaimed Rebecca; "she's just as good and kind as she can be, and I like her better all the time.

"Just because you're own cousin to Nate don't put all the law an' the gospel on your side, Suse Timmins. I'll take good care of this girl." "And so will I, if Bella wants to live with me," said the doctor's wife. "Mirandy will be glad to have her." "And she'd be company for me," rejoined the other neighbor. "I haven't any children."

THAT'S been tried over at Mirandy Dows's, not five miles from here, and the niggers are half the time hangin' round here takin' holiday.
Mirandy Jane Pendleton, I could shake you! You can talk fast enough when somebody else wants the floor! How'd he git in? What'd he say for himself?" "Why, he never said anything! Cyrus didn't see him." "Didn't see him? I thought he see him lookin' out the winder!" "Why, yes! so he did, but he didn't see him to speak to. He jest nailed up the door, an' come away." Mrs.
