"I dunno what yuh want to pester a feller to death for and say! Take that string off'n that cat!" "Aw gwan! It ain't hurting the cat. She likes it."

I'll put the gold in it, Sandy; it will hold it very nicely." "Thank y', Mistuh Tom. You're a gentleman, suh, an' wo'thy er de fam'ly name.

I wouldn't give a dern for spunk-water."
"I reck'n that's so," replied Shorty; "but they likes other people jest as well even a skinny feller like me. They lunches off'n privits, 'n' Corp'rils, 'n' Kurnals, 'n' Gin'rals, all the same.
