Thar she stands the darling as pale nor a lily, and crying like all nater, jest as if her little heart war a going to break and done with it. I 'spect the varmints is hatching some orful plans to put us out o' the way prehaps to hitch us to the stake and burn us all to cinder, like they did our housen, and them things.
"Aunt Olivia isent sorry," chronicled the diary, sadly. "Prehaps shes glad. Once she wished the Lord had forgot to create roosters. But she was ever kind to Tomas Jefferson, considdering the seeds he scrached up. That was his besittingest sin and I know he is sorry now. I wish Aunt Olivia was sorry."
That was because Robert always ended a fist encounter with a warning. "Ef you don't want a double dose o' dis here you'll prehaps obstain f'um mentionin' de name o' de culled gentleman wot gib it ter you." And the victim usually "obstained." If he didn't it was presently the worse for him. Robert had been born in the South. He had lived there till his fourteenth year.

Afore goin' to sleep, I had put my blanket on Mexikin-fashion that is, wi' my head through a slit in the centre an' as the drag begun, the blanket flopped about my face, an' half-smothered me. Prehaps, however, an' I thort so arterwurd, that blanket saved me many a scratch, although it bamfoozled me a good bit.
Now I think we'd better do one of two things. Either wait for the reinforcement o' Colonel Logan who's no doubt on his march by this time to join us or else divide our party, and let half on 'em go up stream and cross at the rapids, and so get round behind the ravines, ready to attack the savages in the rear; while the rest cross the ford here, and keep straight on along the ridge to attack 'em in front by which maneuver we may prehaps be able to beat them.
Prehaps you'd let one o' your leetle boys drive that ere ox over to my house?" After enjoying the hospitality of their planter friend for a few days longer, our travellers once more resumed their journey; and proceeded up the great Mississippi, towards the cold countries of the North.
