He won't make love to two at once, unless they 're both pretty young, I 'll warrant. Follow her round, Miss Cynthy, and keep your eyes on her." "I have watched her like a cat, Mrs. Hopkins, but I can't follow her everywhere, she won't stand what Susan Posey 'll stand.
Posey Breem yawned lazily as he threw open the door of his particular stall, then suddenly brought himself together with a jerk and stared fixedly. "What ails you now, Pose? Seen a ghost?" "Skid" Thomson stopped with the big measure of feed which he was carrying. "No, I've seen no ghost," said Breem slowly, still staring. "Look here, Skid!"

And then there wuz a century plant with a blossom stem thirty feet high, and a posey accordin', one posey agin as high as my Josiah, and his father, and etc., etc., etc., and Ury. Oh, good gracious! oh, dear me suz! That plant wuzn't expected to blow out in several years, but all of a sudden it shot up that immense stalk, up, up to thirty feet.
