When I see her bringin' her pianny, and her picturs, and books, and sich like traps, I just told myself, 'Neow, John Edwards has got a pretty passel of trash on his hands, I veow.

"I declare!" said Mr. Guy Hallam. "Waal, this is sum'at of a fix neow," said Mr. Surly, climbing out over the wheel. "What's the matter?" asked Gypsy and Sarah, in one breath, jumping up to see.

Ef there's tew, or more, I'll hev the fust shot and you the second. Don't speak, arter we git on to the pint, the leastest word". "I understand", said John, as he examined his rifle, to see that all was right.
"Wa-ll, all you've got to do neow, I guess," said the other, "is to stretch a rope across the hull consarn, and fix up a blanket or two to screen off the femmels from the menfolk; and the thing's done slick and handsome."
"Leezur's my name; and neow I'll tell ye how ye can all'as remember it; it's jest like all them great discoveries, it's dreadful easy when it's once been thought on. Leezur leezure see?
