"Ye ain't meanin' ter let him take the boy sure enough!" she gasped. "I moughtn't be able ter holp it; I dun'no' how the law stands. He air kin ter Lee-yander, an' mebbe hev got the bes' right ter him." She shivered slightly; the dew was falling, and all the budding herbage was glossed with a silver glister. The shadows were sparse.
"Wall, if you did, I warn't speakin' to you," said Jacob Dennison, surlily. "Well, when you speak in school, address yourself to me," said Keith. He caught Euphronia Tripper's eyes on him. "I mought an' I moughtn't," said Jacob, insolently. "I propose to see that you do." Jacob's reply was something between a grunt and a sneer, and the school rustled with a sound very much like applause.
You should be discreet. There's a big floating vote in this district, and you can float still more into it if you go about it the right way." The Colonel looked curiously into Dennie's ingenuous blue eyes, and said with an indifferent air, "Ye mought be right, and then agin ye moughtn't."

"How can you tell when you only catch sight of them on the move?"
"Wal," said he, at last, slowly and thoughtfully, "it'll take a man with a head as long as a hoss to answer that thar. It mought hold on, an then agin it moughtn't." "At any rate, I suppose we can drift." "O, yes; an of the wind doosn't come round too strong, we can git nigh down pooty close to St. John by mornin." "We'll run down with the tide." "Percisely."
Why didn't you come by way of the tunnel, like the other Caesars?" "Pop tol me not to. Sent me ahead. Said mebbe they moughtn't git in here if the doors was locked early. Tol' me to hide me in the house an' let 'em in, late, ef they-all couldn't git in no earlier, or ef they couldn't cotch one of the two cusses outside the house." "Good strategy!" approved Brice.
