At one place whar it was narrer' wid tick woods on bofe sides dey had builded a high rail-fence. Den below dat he had put sogers in de woods each side widout dere hosses, an' farder down still he had hid a lot of men dat was mounted.
"De ossifers and men ob de Reindeer will go asho' when you done took de steamer; don't you see dat, massa?" "What shall I do with you then?" asked Christy, as he handed him two sovereigns and two shillings.

But now, he has insulted Number Five up in the music-room, and in the presence of these these ossifers of the Ninety-third, wot look like hairdressers. Binjimin, we must make him cry 'Capivi!"

Yer'd tink it was a supper-party, ef dere hadn't been a strappin' big soger walkin' up an' down de verandy whar he could see in de winders.
