Susan darlin', it's Jo Bumpus as would give all he has in the world, includin' his Sunday clo'se, to be anchored alongside o' ye at that same farm! `Sanfransko. I misdoubt the spellin' o' that word, Susan dear; it seems to me raither short, as if ye'd docked off its tail.

Yet it do seem raither hard that a man should swing for savin' his friend's life an' his enemy's at the same time." "How what do you mean?" "I mean that Mister Brixton is my friend," answered the trapper, "and I've saved his life just now, for which I thank the Lord.
"W'at noos?" demanded Ali. "W'y, the noos that the war betwane this Raigincy of Algiers an' Tunis is goin' on raither favourable, and that forty mules were brought in this morning loaded with human heads." "Oh yes, I heers dat," replied Ali carelessly, as he filled his pipe from Flaggan's tobacco-pouch.
"I'd raither read." "What is't you're readin' noo?" she would enquire. "Oh, it's the 'Scottish Chiefs, an' I'm jist at the bit aboot Wallace's wife being murdered by Hazelrig. My! It's awfu' vexin'." "Ay, it's a fine book, Robin. Ye might read that bit oot to me." "A' richt," and he would start to read while Nellie sat down to listen.
"That sounds a terribly profound speech, Fred," said Archie, who was busy at his very usual occupation of whittling an arrow for his brother. "Did your father teach it you, or did you crib it from a copy-book?" "No, I raither think," retorted the seaman quietly, "that I got it from your grandmother by the father's side."
Do ye think He canna see whan his een are steekit. Gin the watter meddle wi' you, He'll sune lat it ken it's i' the wrang. Ye'll see 't cowerin' at 's feet like a colley-dog.

"But me hears a shote an' a cry," said the girl, with a suddenly anxious look.
