There's Cinthy, she's a good, pious gal: she locks her chamber-doors, both on 'em, and goes to bed, and wakes up in the night, and there's a woman there. She jest shets her eyes, and the woman's gone. She gits up and looks, and both doors is locked jest as she left 'em.
"Marse Rupert," he said, "dis hyer's a pow'fle scorcher of a mawnin'. Dem young lawyers as shets up dey office an' comes home to lie in de grass in de shade, dey is follerin' up dey perfession in de profitablest way what'll be likely to bring 'em de mos' clients, 'cause, sho's yo' bawn, dere's sunstroke an' 'cussion or de brain just lopin' roun' dis town en a little hot brick office ain't no place for a young man what got any dispect fur his next birfday.
"After a little, their grub's got ready in the camp house. It's a jo-darter of a feed, with cake, pie, airtights, an' the full game, an' Jack an' Pickles walks over side an' side. They goes in alone an' shets the door. In about five minutes, thar's some emphatic remarks by two six-shooters, an' we-all goes chargin' to find out.
An' a jail in these diggin's, my beauties, is a thing that ain't no joke, 'cause they shets you up below ground where ye has only your natural frien's the rats fer playmates, rats as big as dogs an' hungry as sharks, as ye might say. Sometimes the cap'n of these here ports fergits ye 'specially if they's frien's er mine.
'Oh, that's all right, he drawled, 'I allus shets that eye anyway when I shoot. That made them laugh and he got by." In high spirits they finished their meal, and as they were off duty for the next hour or two, made their way down to that quarter of the field where the prisoners' camp was placed.
Several of the men in the rear huddled closer to one another. One or two in the front row wiped the back of their hands over their brows. "They can't take 'Merican citizens," growled someone. "No, they can't wuss luck for the 'Merican citizens. The others stand some show but 'Merican citizens don't stand none. 'Cause they shets yer up without a hearin' and communicates with the consul.

Make haste, chile, an' git in mah buggy 'foh I busts you one; an' Mrs. Hewlet, dat screetchin' ain' gwine help none!"
Most like they'll let up for a couple o' days for Thanksgivin', but John mightn't think't was wuth his while to travel here and back again 'less he had something to do before winter shets down. Perhaps they'll prevail upon the old lady, I wish they would, I'm sure; but an only daughter forsakin' her so, 'twas most too bad of Ad'line.
