Now its jist as like as not, some goney of a Blue Nose, that see'd us from his fields, sailin up full spirit, with a fair wind on the packet, went right off home and said to his wife, "now do for gracious sake, mother, jist look here, and see how slick them folks go along; and that Captain has nothin to do all day, but sit straddle legs across his tiller, and order about his sailors, or talk like a gentleman to his passengers; he's got most as easy a time of it as Ami Cuttle has, since he took up the fur trade, a snarin rabbits.
I've see'd things on that ranch as made me git a tight grip on my axe, an' long a'mighty hard to bust a few heads in.
"Well," she said, "Christmas will be here in two weeks' time. Do you know what Christmas is?" "No," said Willie, "I 'ain't ever see'd one." Miss Elton smiled. "You know who Jesus is?" she asked. "Yes" said Willie. "We talks to 'im every mornin' an' night, Bob an' me; an' we're tryin' to be good." "That's right," said Miss Elton.
Gideon Ward's sister after the irascible Colonel had driven every other suitor away from that patient lady and then gave the Colonel his "everlasting comeuppance," and settled down in Smyrna as boss of the Ward household, that event nearly wore Gossip's tongue into ribbons. "I see'd it from a distance the part that happened in front of the toll-house," said Old Man Jordan.
But I never see'd one before in England." Caleb was quite ready to believe it, and was a little proud at having a sheep-dog from that distant country. He said that it also put something new into his mind. He didn't know nothing about Russia before that, though he had been hearing so much of our great war there and of all the people that had been killed.
I've got to keep an eye on that as well as on 'O. Paving, and I just see'd that chap with the tall hat alooking at it suspicious." After this we separated. I retired into my corner, while Woodden took his stand by the table, with one eye fixed on what he called the "O. Paving" and the other on me and my tin case. An odd fish truly, I thought to myself.
"Now, I didn't come down to wheedle you out of anything, Mrs Chopper, but merely to talk to you, and look at this pretty boy." "There you go, Nancy; but ain't he like Peter?" "Well, and so he is! very like Peter; he has Peter's eyes and his nose, and his mouth is exactly Peter's how very strange!" "I never see'd such a likeness!" exclaimed Mrs Chopper.

'Yi, said his wife, 'and they see'd a returnin' sinner. But hoo's safe naa; hoo's getten back to her mother, and hoo's getten back to God.
All at once I remembered as I'd see'd the name `Jacob Poole' over a little shop in a lane near the town, so I thought, `that'll do; so says I, when he axed me my name again, `Jacob Poole. But I were nearly as fast next time as he called to me, for when he says, `Jacob, I takes no notice. So he says again, `Jacob Poole, in a loud voice, and then I turns round as if I'd been shot.
"Well, it ryled her considerable. But when she got upright agin, she then see'd what a beautiful frizzle of a fix she was in. She couldn't hope to climb far; and, indeed, she didn't ambition to; she'd had enough of that, for one spell. But climbin' up was nothin', compared to goin' down hill without her staff; so what to do, she didn't know. "At last, a thought struck her.
