No, make no mistake about the character of the objec’ we’ve forgot. ’Tain’t sweet pertaters, ’tain’t molasses, ’tain’t corn-bread—it’s paw! It’s your pore old paw—him settin’ in the tent, forsook and neglected by his own children." All started up to remedy their filial neglect without loss of time, but Mrs. Yellett waved them back to their places.
It's true the auld men are awa', but here's the auld wife left, an' she'll be a mither to ye, as weel's she kens hoo, an' a lass o' your sense is easy to mither. I' the name o' God I say't, the warl' micht as weel objec' to twa angels bidin' i' h'aven thegither as you an' the yoong laird in ae hoose! Say 'at they like, ye're but a servan' lass, an' here am I ower ye!
"The only objec' of letting the public know about it would be if nothink was found I mean if the search of the shops, and so on, was no good. Then, of course, we must try and find out someone some private person-like, who's watched that knife in the criminal's possession. It's there the reward the five hundred pounds will come in."
The General thinks they're as good as the rest of us, and a little bit better, and has sent over for the Fifty-fourth to lead the charge this evening. What have you got to say to that?" "Bull, for them! that's what I've got to say. Any objection?" looking round him. "Nary objec!" "They deserve it!" "They fought like tigers over on James Island!" "I hope they'll pepper the rebs well!"
Ef yer don't objec I'll set down a bit and put on a pipe. He sat down on the grass and began to smoke. We asked him questions about himself, and he told us many of his secret sorrows especially about there being no work nowadays for an honest man.
"Hooray!" yelled Junkie, now fairly aflame, as he jumped like the fish, flourished the big hook round his head, and gaffed Quin by the lappet of his coat! "Have a care, you spalpeen," shouted the Irishman, grasping the excited youngster by the collar and disengaging himself from the hook. "Sure it might have been me nose as well as me coat, an' a purty objec' that would have made me!"
"Why, sor, they've found it in big nuggets in some places, an' Muster Gashford is off wid a party not half an hour past. I'm goin' mesilf, only I thought I'd see first if ye wouldn't jine me; but ye don't seem to care for goold no more nor if it was copper; an that's quare, too, whin it was the very objec' that brought ye here." "Ah, Flinders, I have gained more than my object in coming.
We've got ears too; we don't hear with our elbows. What for did she bring nice things and pretties for Hubert? and what for did she take such a wonderful interest in de poor baby? Bress us, is de baby wake or sleep, or what is come of it? We's all forgettin' de dear precious objec. Sakes alive, an' its nearly smuddered in its soft blankets, worked so beau'fully wid its own moder's hand."
When men take to living in the wilderness, it's time to cast off all the humbuggin' politenesses o' civilised life." "Pardon me, Macnab," returned my friend, with more than his usual urbanity, "I differ from you there." "Oh, ay, I daresay ye do," interrupted the other. "It's been said of Scotsmen that `they can aye objec', and I think it's equally true of Englishmen that they can always differ!"
He kind of whines in his throat and up his nose, and sometimes he puts up his head, opens his mouth wide, and gives a lovely howl!

'Is she rather cross?
