But you ain't got any ropin' to do, so I sh'd think an army saddle-tree would be about right. There's Rifle-Eye Bill comin' out of the bunk-house now. Ask him. He'll know."

I reckon I'd better git my grip an' go to the hotel. I sh'd be ruther bashful to wear your swallertail, an' all them folks'll be strangers, I says.
Blodgett, do hurry," begged Joel, "and come." And he began to dance off impatiently. "Hold on!" cried the farmer, turning back, "you ain't goin'." Joel stood absolutely still. "Not going!" "Th' idee o' takin' a leetle chap like you," laughed Deacon Blodgett. "Why, I couldn't look your Ma in the face, Joel Pepper, ef I sh'd do sech a thing." Joel scanned Ben's face.
'Pears to me I'd 'a' heard of it; fur I've lived in these parts a long time." "It was a little before your day." "So was 1812; but my father fit in it, an' I never heard him tell of this Revolution. He'd 'a' known, I sh'd think. There's a nigger in the fence somewheres." "Well, England was rather busy at the time with the French." "Ah, that was it, was it?
I don't say but what if that 'ar' Langham girl sh'd have a r'al bad spall o' toothache come on, but what I'd let her take her, but I'd jest as soon she didn't know nothin' 'beout it. I'd ruther not make no openin' for a kile." We sucked our nervine lozenges with mutual earnestness. "You are getting on finely with the barn," I said, noticing several new rows of shingles on the roof.
I sh'd think that would be an interestin' experiment." Now the Doctor had one resort, which, among the people of Sevenoaks, was infallible, whenever he wished to check argumentation on any subject relating to his profession.
'I d'n' know, I says, 'why I sh'd be 'xpected to give your baby more 'n a dollar. She ain't my baby, 'n' you know 's well 's I do where the blame f'r that lies, 'n' then I banged the door in his face.

"'I needs a noo nigger 'oman down ter my place, sezee, 'fer ter cook en wash, en so on; en dat young 'oman'll des fill de bill. You gimme her, en you kin hab Lightnin' Bug."

'I wish 't there was a chapel to this place, says she. 'I know, says I; 'I've all'as said, ef they'd start 'er up I'd contribbit to 'er 's fur as my purse 'u'd allow." Exhaustive laughter for some cause from the group.
