I was middlin' pleased to see light an' vittles again when we got home. Jim he pressed me to come insides for a drink.
Couldn't help a-methinkin' to myself several times. It duz seem to me that there hain't a question a-comin' up before that Conference that is harder to tackle than this plasterin' and the conundrum that is up before us Jonesville wimmen how to raise 300 dollars out of nuthin', and to make peace in a meetin' house where anarky is now rainin' down.
"Sure, an' it's rainin' outside, nurse," he says. And the nurse, who knows the difference between a raindrop and a tear for was she not standing on the step five minutes ago, admiring the stars and the moon? knows her part well, and plays it.

I'd been doin' orderly at the Battery an' brought down the requisition for so many rounds, an' it bein' the Left'nant's first trip up, an' not knowin' the road 'e 'as me up in front with 'im to show the way.

I makes the doctor who's talkin' go rummagin' about ontil he rounds up a old nigger daddy, a mule an' a two-wheel sugar kyart. It's rainin' by now so's you-all could stand an' wash your face an' hands in it.
