The first you know, I says, 'they'll have your skin off an' layin' on the front piaz' for a door-mat. "Sam started for the open air. I hated to be ha'sh with him, but he needed some education himself, an' it took a beetle an' wedge to open his mind for it.
Ye can't go way down there. No, sir, ye can't. Go back an' lay down on the piaz." Shep was fawning at my uncle's foot and rubbing his neck on his boot and looking up at him. "What's that ye say?" Uncle Peabody went on, looking down and turning his ear as if he had heard the dog speak and were in some doubt of his meaning. "Eh? What's that?

They have likewise Latin phrases oddly mingled among their own: a gentleman said yesterday, that he was going to Casa Sororis, to his sister's; and the strange word Minga, which meets one at every turn, is corrupted, I believe, from Mica, a crumb. Piaz minga, I have not a crumb of pleasure in it, &c.
