If they had kep' me up half a minute longer it would have bin all over: I a'most wished they had, for though I never was much troubled wi' the narves, I'm beginnin' now to have a little fellow-feelin' for the sufferin's o' the narvish." "Do you really mean, my dear fellow, that the monsters have been torturing you in this way?" asked Miles, with looks of sympathy.
So my normal occupations often were interrupted by such calls as these: "John's Lize Ann she ain't much; cain't you-uns give her some easin'-powder for that hurtin' in her chist?" "Old Uncle Bobby Tuttle's got a pone come up on his side; looks like he mought drap off, him bein' weak and right narvish and sick with a head-swimmin'."
It goes at the rate of over sixty miles an hour, an' ain't just quite the train for people as is narvish though my 'usband do say it ain't more dangerous than other trains not s'much so, indeed, wich I believe myself, for there ain't nothink 'appened to my John all the eight years he have drove it." "Is sixty miles an hour very much faster than the rate of ordinary trains?" asked Emma.

"But la, Miss!" said Mrs Marrot, sitting on the bed and patting the baby, whose ruling passion, mischief, could not be disguised even in distress, seeing that it gleamed from his glassy eyes and issued in intermittent yells from his fevered throat, "if your nurse is of a narvish temperment she'd better not go with my John, 'cause he usually drives the Flyin' Dutchman."
No doubt when he sat down on the rock he felt warm, an' bein' a narvish sort o' chap, I make no question but he was a-sweatin' pretty hard, so, without thinkin', he up with his arm, quite nat'ral like, an' drawed it across where his brow would have bin if the helmet hadn't been on.
