Now, they had some queer-lookin' little store-housen, and for all the world they opened at the top instead of the sides, to keep the snakes out of the rice in their native land, so they said. Josiah wuz jest crazy to have one made like it.
In the German Village our party rested, and the ladies enjoyed its quaint and picturesque cottages and castle, and listened with pleasure to the German band all but Mrs. Camp.

All she say when I ast her: 'Nemmine! she say, dess thataway. 'Nemmine! she say. I reckon she ain't goin' tell nobody who give her this dog." "He's certainly a mighty queer-lookin' dog," said Herbert. "I've seen a few like that, but I can't remember where. What kind is he, Kitty Silver?" "Miss Julia tell me he a poogle dog."
"And did you see nothing more of any of your crew when you came to yourself after being washed ashore?" asked Sir Reginald. "Nary one of 'em," answered Barker.

"He was a tinhorn, all right," said Wise, "and fer the life of me I don't know how a woman like Ma Thomas could have such a worthless rake fer a son. He was a queer-lookin' hombre one brown eye and one black eye." "Ma loves him, though.
"He really is a very queer-lookin' sort of person, ma'am. I wouldn't know exactly where to place him. Shall I say you are out, ma'am?" "Yes," said Miss Eva. "No doubt he wants to sell an encyclopedia." "No, let him come in," said Miss Nellie. "It might be a reporter about Madame d'Avala," she added, turning to her sister. "Sometimes they look queer."

"Wall," sez he, "you don't want to go into any sech a job. You'll kill Submit, anyway, experimentin' on her."
