He giv' me some o' these things I' got on; I take 'em 'cos I know it make him mad, if I no take 'em; I wear 'em, so that he needn' feel as if I didn' like him; but, Doctor, I hate him, jes' as much as a member o' the church has the Lord's leave to hate anybody."
Yo' dawn' want to spite mae, do yo'?" "I didn' saay it t' spite yo', Jimmy. I said it saw's yo' sudn' feel saw baad." He smiled mournfully. "Poor Essy," he said. She gave him a queer look.

"Vell, den, you needn' sbeak so loud. I aind teaf, den." "A dozen!" she screamed. "Give me a dozen. Here are only twelve." "Vell, den, dwalf is a dozen." "One more! I want a dozen." "Vell, den, if you vant anodder, go to de duyvil and ged it." Did the hag take him at his word?

S'pose ye thort ye'd git him, bein in the same haouse long with him, but ye hain't made aout.
Pogram's ears Felix formed the opinion that the little man, also, could hear. "Tell her not to fret, Mr. Derek. I'd like a shirt, in case I've got to stop. The children needn' know where I be; though I an't ashamed." "It may be a longer job than you think, Bob." In the silence that followed Felix could not help turning.

"The laws of the land?" said John O'Brien; "oh, little, Bartle Flanagan, you respected them. You needn' be alarmed now you are safe here to the laws of the land we will leave you; and by them you must stand or fall."
You needn' clucky down an' hide an' after breakin' Mr Nanjivell's windows, that hasn' sixpence between hisself an' heaven, to pay a glazier!" "Proper young limbs you be," the voice went on. "With no father at home to warm 'ee!"
Is he very sick marm?" added Prudence eagerly, seeing that Mrs. Poor was forgetting her. "I don' keer who ye be, an ye needn' waste no time o' tellin me," replied Mrs. Bement, her pretty blue eyes as hard as steel. "Ye couldn't go intew that jail not ef ye wuz Gin'ral Washington.
