"You don't mean that, Lot," said Enoch, who knew that young Breckenridge talked a deal more recklessly than he really felt. "Well, never mind all that," said Lot. "Tell me the news. What's goin' on 'tother side the mountings? Did ye know that lots more red-coats had come to Boston?
I'm only a very poor young man greatly poorer than you are, for at least you own a home and a little piece of the mountain top, while I own no inch of God's earth or anything else except my horse, my four pistols, my saddle and bridle and the clothes I wear." "What's your plan? Goin' to settle in the mountings?
We are very fond of each other." "And your mother " she asked hesitatingly. "I do not remember her, for I was an infant when she died. But my father keeps her in mind always.

These mountings are full uv little valleys an' coves. They say the Alleghanies run more than a thousand miles one way an' mebbe three hundred or so another. I reckon that when the Lord made 'em, an' looked at His job, he wondered how He wuz goin' to hev people live in sech a mass uv mountings.
"It isn't; it's not, a bit." "Laws, yes! It's oh heaps different!" She nodded her lovely head in firm conviction. "It's heaps different and I'm goin' to know more about such things as clo'es.
