You 'm in a bad way, Jan Grimbal, an' I'm sorry for 'e brick house an' horses an' dogs notwithstanding. Have a spring cleaning in that sulky brain o' yourn, my son, an' be a man wi' yourself, same as you be a man wi' the world." The other sneered. "Don't get hot.
But July says, 'We knows we can't stop prayin', an' we knows what we'll take jus' as well firs' as las'. Then I was 'shamed to think I was firs' in de cause, an' July stronger'n me. An' we went through de gate an' stood afore massa, settin' in de back door in his night shirt. He began to swear we was ruinin' his whole plantation, an' now he was goin' to have us whipped to death.
"Yes," went on Bill, meditatively, after the slight laugh had died, "it's ruinin' to the judgment. He don't seem to know when he interferes with the game. Pity, too." Still the argument went on. "Seems as if he ought to take somethin'," said Bill, in a voice suspiciously mild. "What would you suggest?" "A walk, mebbe!" said Hi, in delighted expectation.
"And it went on to talk about our great dignified Nation bein' a pardner in Saloons, ruinin' men, breakin' wimmen's hearts, starvin' children, committin' theft, murder, adultery, arson, helpin' on fights, death and ruin, jest goin' in snux, as you may say with all this for the money got out of it; it said that though there wuz many great evils to face and overthrow, there wuz none that brutalized the race and agonized the hearts of the people like this, and though all sin left its mark, no other sin changed a man so into the loathsome body and soul wrecks, that drunkenness did, and all for a little money.
'Yes, said Crass, agreeing with Slyme, 'an' thers plenty of 'em wot's too lazy to work when they can get it.

"You bet I'm mad!" rejoined Marm Parraday, grimly, and smash! the axe went among the bottles on the shelf behind the bar. Every bottle containing anything to drink was a target for the swinging axe.

If they was only some other way! His voice was stiddylike, but he was right pale and his eyes was a-shinin'. I remember how they was a-shinin'.
