'Jake, says Jim Peters to this boy, 'come around here an' take this piller out from under my head. Lay me down, and lemme die! Jake he didn't want to, but Jim says to him again, 'Jake, damn you, says he,'do like I tell you'; so then Jake he took the piller out, and Jim he just lay back and gasped once, 'Oh! like that, and he was gone. I call that dying like a gentleman," said Blount.
"Twice three pound is six, an' twice seventeen bob is one-fourteen. Seven pounds fourteen is wot that pore boy's crool end 'as dropped into my pocket, and I'd 'ad those best clothes ever since I got married; an' there was only eight an' fourpence in the piller o' the bunk, an " The engineer stopped short, not for lack of words, but because the stoker was clutching him tightly by the windpipe.
Even wife an' me we had diff'rent idees on the subjec' o' Sonny's raisin'; but somehow, in all our ca'culations, we never seemed to realize that he'd have idees. Why, that two-year-old boy settin' there regulatin' that clock warn't no mo' 'n to say a pink spot on the piller 'fo' he commenced to set fo'th his idees, and he ain't never backed down on no principle thet he set fo'th, to this day.

"That woman has took too much stimulant." And Josiah sez, "What ails you, Samantha? You walk as if you wuz follerin' a band of music." And I wuz, it wuz the music of the Future that sounds out in my ears anon or oftener, sweet inspirin' strains that even Josiah can't hear if his head lays on the same piller.
He put his 'and under his piller, but afore he showed it to 'em he sat up in bed and made 'em a little speech. He said 'e never wanted to see their faces agin as long as he lived, and why Ginger's mother 'adn't put 'im in a pail o' cold water when 'e was born 'e couldn't understand.
