"'Hullo, sais I, pretendin' to wake up, 'what's the matter! have I overslept myself? is it time to get up? and I put out my arm to rub my eyes, and lo and behold I exposed my coat sleeve. "'No, Sam, said she, 'you couldn't oversleep yourself, for you haven't slept at all, you ain't even ondressed. "'Ain't I, said I, 'are you sure?
And then he kept cheerin' me up and pretendin' to be more and more sure you would buy and and when he found you wouldn't he but there, he told us the truth. I understand why he did it, Mr. Cabot." The banker shook his head. "Well, I suppose I do, too, in a way," he said. "It is because he is Galusha Bangs. Nobody else on earth would think of doing such a thing." "No, nobody else would.
"Ajax, yer talkin' through yer hat. What do you know of wimmenfolk? Not a derned thing. They're great at pretendin'. I dessay you, bein' a bachelor, think that my Lily kind o' wallers in washin' my ole duds, an' cookin' the beans and bacon when the thermometer's up to a hundred in the shade, and doin' chores around the hog pens an' chicken yards? Wal she don't.
B'lieve I'll jest step down that way an' see if the lower field is ready for the plow yet." "Abram Johnson," said his wife, "bein's you set up for an honest man, if you want to trapse through slush an' drizzle a half-mile to see a bird, why say so, but don't for land's sake lay it on to plowin' 'at you know in all conscience won't be ready for a week yet 'thout pretendin' to look."
"'Now, sais he, a pretendin' to take no notice of this, you know we have the Voluntary with us, Mr. Slick. He said "Mister" that time, for he began to get formal on puppus to stop jokes; but, dear me, where all men are equal what's the use of one man tryin' to look big? He must take to growin' agin I guess to do that. 'You know we have the Voluntary with us, Mr. Slick, sais he.
She's done the best day's work she ever did for herself and me, too." "Well, how you can speak about it so, Ranny," said his mother. "There you're at it again, you know pretendin'. You go on as if it was the most horrible thing that could happen to any one, her boltin', when you know the most horrible thing would be her comin' back again.
You never see sich a clean boy, you never see 'im but what 'e seemed to 'ave sponged 'is collar that minute, an' the little seat to 'is breeks always patched in the right colour, an' all. Yet 'e wasn't one of them choir-boy kinds, 'e could 'ave 'is little game with the best of 'em, an' often kicked up no end of a row when we was playin' pretendin' games of a wet Sunday.
Don't you think pretendin' yu' don't know a man, his name's nothin', but him, a man whom you were glad enough to let assist yu' when somebody was needed, don't you think that's mighty close to hide-and-seek them children plays?

Look here, Rube!" he roared at the top of his lungs, "can the cheap talk and answer the lieutenant's questions or you'll get into trouble. D'ye hear?" Jed looked up at him.
I climbs out and looked her over. She sure was balky. I was glad she said somethin', if it was only 'Guzzuh, instead of quittin' on me silent and scornful.

When she cooled off, I started her easy sort of grazin' along pretendin' we wasn't goin' to lope again.
