So the dull Eel moves nimbler in the mud, Than all the swift-finn'd racers of the flood. As skilful divers to the bottom fall, Sooner than those that cannot swim at all, So in the way of writing, without thinking, Thou hast a strange alacrity in sinking. Thou writ'st below ev'n thy own nat'ral parts, And with acquir'd dulness, and new arts Of studied nonsense, tak'st kind readers hearts.
"It's so, but it was kept secret by Deacon Salisbury. I overheerd it. Wa'al, that's a proof that you don't understand Joan, I reckon. And considerin' that Demorest HIMSELF don't know it, ez I found out only the other day in talking to him, I kalkilate I'm safe in sayin' that you're neither o' you quite up to Deacon Salisbury's darter in nat'ral cuteness.
"'Taint right as I should be left here alone; and me feelin' that low, and a'most dazed with affliction." "Tha's how you've a right to feel," the stern woman said, unmoved by his tears. "I keep a-thinkin' of wha's layin' up above theer, Dinah." "Pity you di'n't think on 'er more in 'er lifetime." "'Taint nat'ral as I should be left wholly alone with a dead woman.
It's my way when I'm ruffled. I shall take to him as nat'ral as if he were my own flesh and blood afore long. I'll give him the edication of a prig, teach him the use of his forks betimes, and make him, in the end, as clever a cracksman as his father." "Never!" shrieked Mrs. Sheppard; "never! never!" "Halloa! what's this?" demanded Blueskin, springing to his feet.
Brimberly ponderously, "I'm reether inclined to think I made it a D if it wasn't D it was F nat'ral. But if it's all the same to you, I'll accompany myself at the piano-forty." "What," exclaimed Mr. Stevens, emptying and refilling his glass, seeing which Mr. Jenkins did the same, "what do you play, Brim?" "By hear, sir only by hear," said Mr.
You're lookin' a bit pale round the gills, young cove, but, Lord! that's only nat'ral too." Here he produced from the depths of a capacious pocket something that glittered beneath his agile fingers. "And 'ow might be your general 'ealth, young cove?" he went on affably, "bobbish, I 'ope fair an' bobbish?"
"Set you to play six-eight time an' 'tis beads right away." "A slice o' saffern-cake, crowder, to stay ye. Don't say no. Hi, Mary Jane!" "Thank 'ee, Farmer. A man might say you was in sperrits to-night, makin' so bold." "I be; I be." "Might a man ax wherefore, beyond the nat'ral hail-fellow-well-met of the season?" "You may, an' yet you mayn't," answered the host, passing on with the mug.

Don't believe no ghost ever wore whiskers an' long hair like his'n. Thet don't hol' t' reason. This remark was followed by dead silence.
But they wa'n't curls, and they wouldn't ha' been short if I hadn't cut 'em. For every night, and sometimes twice a day, I curled 'em on a pipe-stem." "Ain't them curls nat'ral, Lucindy?" cried Mrs. Wilson. "Have you been fixin' 'em to blow round your face that way, all these years?" "I begun when I was a little girl," said Lucindy, guiltily.
