The sun was going down behind Si Thompson's planing mill as I stopped at the little red covered bridge that marked the boundary of the village. Silas had been dead for twenty years, but it seemed to me that it was only yesterday that I heard his nasal twang above the roar of the machinery: "Sa-ay, you fellers want to git out o' that!"
They say that once a flat, lanky man climbed bareheaded out at the stage station below the mountain and met Casey coming springily off the box with whip and six reins in his hand.

Harvey could have sworn that a bright sun was shining upon his lifted face; but the drawl went on: "Sa-ay! You fellers guyed us consid'rable t'other night." "We don't feel like guyin' any now," said Disko. "I know it; but to tell the honest truth we was kinder kinder driftin' when we run agin young Olley."
"You sa-ay 'What we a-doin' hyuh? Well, suh, I mought sa-ay we ain't a-doin' nuth'n'; but I" he squirted again "will sa-ay that so fah as you see what we a-doin', you kin see, an' welcome; an' so fah as you don't see, it ain't none o' yo' damn' busi-ness." "Oh, that's all right, I was only asking a friendly question."

It might have been the voice of an animal or of a bird, but it sounded near enough like a human being to scare all three of the young people on the doorstep. "Sa-ay," quavered Curly. "You don't suppose there are such things as ghosts, do you, girls?" "No, I don't!" snapped Ruth. "Don't try to scare us either, Curly." "Honest, I'm not.

They shared a match, even as brothers might, before honest indignation escaped the grim portals of the shipping clerk's mouth. "Sa-ay!" he exploded "looky here: where've you been all night?" "Ah-h!"
The last-named, as he jostled his way among the crowd, kept vociferating, viciously, virulently, and with a curious system of division of his syllables: "Aha-a, ra-abble, secta-arians. Yo-ou would have nothing to say to me, you Se-erbs! Yet I say to YOU: Go along, my chickens, for the re-est of us are ti-ired of you, and come to sa-ay so!"
And presently the voice of Western Union was lifted in sour expostulation: "Sa-ay, whatcha s'pose 's th' matta wid dis guy? I' been ringin' haffanour!" "That's funny," commented the elevator boy: "he came in only about ten minutes ago." "Yuh wuddn' think he cud pass away 's quick 's all that wuddja?" "Ah, I dunno.
