It tante much different from stump oratory in America arter all, or speakin' off a whiskey barrel, is it? It's a sort of divil me-kear-kind o' audience; independent critters, that look at a feller full in the face, as sarcy as the divil; as much as to say, 'Talk away, my old 'coon, you won't alter me, I can tell you, it's all Bunkum.
She didn't say a word at fust, seemed ruther took by surprise, and then, all of a sudding, she turned her head and looked up inter my face as sarcy as ye ever see anything, and says she, 'Do yeou think I'd ever merry a man with sech a horrid name as Mummychog? 'Is that all the objection you hev, Jinny? ses I. Ses she, ''Tis the greatest, I know of. Then ses I, 'There ain't no diffikilty, for my name aint Mummychog, and never was.
"No, youngster, I don't; but I do know as you're getting a deal too sarcy, and that I'm going to stop it, and my mates too." "Get out! Who are you?" cried the boy, indignantly. "What do you mean?"
'Well, p'leaceman, I don't mean to be sarcy: but seein' as all my pore dear 'usband's kith and kin o' the name o' Goodjohn was buried in Llanbeblig churchyard, p'raps you'll be kind enough to let me go there sometimes, an' p'raps be buried there when my time comes. 'But what took you there? I said.
"The southerners, who are both as proud and as sarcy as the British, call us Eastern folk Yankees as a term of reproach, because having no slaves, we are obliged to be our own niggers and do our own work, which is'nt considered very genteel, and as we are intelligent, enterprising, and skilful, and therefore too often creditors of our more luxurious countrymen, they do not like us the better for that, and not being Puritans themselves, are apt to style us scornfully, those 'd d Yankees.
So de Lord say to him one day, 'Cain, where is your brudder? 'I don't know, Massa, said he, 'I didn't see him nowhere. Well, de next time he asked him de sef-same question, and he answered quite sarcy, 'How in de world does I know, sais he, 'I ain't my brudder's keeper. Well, afore he know'd where he was, de Lord said to him, in a voice of tunder, 'You murdered him, you villain! And Cain, he was so scared, he turned white dat very instant.
"Had enough of you at home." "Don't you be sarcy," growled Mike Bannock; "and lookye here, these gentlemen friends of mine!" he nodded sidewise at the two fierce-looking desperadoes at his side "is very nice in their way, but they won't stand no fooling. Lookye here. How was it you come?" "In a ship of war," said Don. "Ho! Then where's that ship o' war now?" "I don't know."
"Hold hard, my sonnies; not yet. Let's see how they behave themselves. Stand back." It was evident that the great coarse-looking ruffian had perfect command over the party of black fellows, who shrank back at a word, and waited with glistening eyes, their faces shining in the lamplight. "There," said the man, "you see; so don't be sarcy.
"Yes, hang the sarcy dogs! and they took and tell'd me that they'd take and flow clean up to my front door, and make me go out and in in a boat." "Why don't you go to law?" "Oh, they keep alterin' and er tinkerin'-up the laws so here in Massachusetts that a body can't git no damage fur flowing; they think cold water can't hurt nobody." Mother and Aunt Nabby each keep separate establishments.
She oughter cracked me over de head for bein' so sarcy; but dar's whar 't is I can't do nothin' with ladies in de kitchen!" "Well, you made out well with that dinner, I remember everybody said so," said George.
