The moon come a-swelling up out of the ground, now, powerful big and round and bright, behind a comb of trees, like a face looking through prison bars, and the black shadders and white places begun to creep around, and it was miserable quiet and still and night-breezy and graveyardy and scary. All of a sudden Tom whispers: "Look! what's that?" "Don't!" I says.
As a form of receipt, sir. When you settle I'll return it. If if anything should happen to to you, sir, where would I be?" Beaumont-Greene's temper showed itself. "You all talk as if I was on my death-bed," he said. The tailor stared. Others, then, had suggested to this large, unwholesome youth the possibility of premature decease. "Not at all, sir, but we do live in the valley of shadders.
I walked round with Tommy for a spell and showed him all the beauties of the place, which wuz many, sot down with him for a spell in the big, richly-furnished parlors, but cold and lonesome lookin' after all, for the love-light of home wuz lackin', and looked at the glittering throng passing and repassing; but the wimmen looked fur off to me and the men wuz like shadders, only one man seemed a reality to me, and he wuz small boneded and fur away.

When you know her story as I do, when you know she was made a wife afore she ever knew what it was to be a young woman, when you know that the man she married never understood the kind o' critter he was tied to no more than ef he'd been a steer yoked to a Morgan colt, when ye know she had children growin' up around her afore she had given over bein' a sort of child herself, when ye know she worked and slaved for that man and those children about the house her heart, her soul, and all her pow'ful mind bein' all the time in the woods along with the flickering leaves and the shadders, when ye mind she couldn't get the small ways o' the ranch because she had the big ways o' Natur' that made it, then you'll understand her."
Josiah took quite a fancy to one wore by Attila, king of the Huns, and wanted to put it on. Good land! his head went right up into it just as it would into a big coal-scuttle. What a mind Mr. Attila must have had if his brains wuz accordin' to his head. And we see infernal machines, thumb screws, spiked collars, and other dretful implements of torture like black shadders throwed from the past.
Josiah looked round for a minute on the entrancin' beauty of the water and the islands and up into the green shadders of the trees overhead, and then off into the soft blue haze that wrapped the beautiful shores in the distance.

After a while it drove off down the south trail, an' a little later three men come up them outside stairs back into the hotel. They was mighty still 'bout it, too." "You couldn't tell who they were?" "They wa'n't like nuthin' but shadders; it was a purty dark night." "So it was, Sadie. Do you imagine Timmons had anything to do with the affair?" "Timmons? Not him.
Westerfelt's horse had stepped on a dry twig. There was silence for a moment, then Dill laughed softly. "Nothin' but a acorn drappin'. You fellers is afeerd o' yore shadders; what does the gang mean by sendin' out sech white-livered chaps?" The only sound for a moment was the gurgling of the whiskey as it ran into the jug.
"It must be very unwholesome to have rooms made so dark and damp," she said. "I should think people might have more sense." "Oh, it wa'n't dark a mite!" interrupted Marty, eagerly. "There wuz a blazin' fire on the hearth in the settin'-room, an' the sun a-streamin' into both the south winders. It made shadders on the floor, jest as it does in the woods.
