We have to shift our bed for the rain's comin' in, an' yer may see for yoursels ther ain't much room to shift it in.

But about sleepin' in to-night coorse I wouldn't be knockin' up my father, and disturbin' my poor mother for no rason; so, of coorse, as I said, I'll sleep in the barn; it makes no difference one way or other." "Connor," said Flanagan, with much solemnity, "if Bodagh Buie's wise, he'll marry you and his daughter as fast as he can." "An' why, Bartle?" "Why, for rasons you know nothin' about.
"If I tried to wash anywhere as was at all difficult I lost my grip on the hole an' the water went out with a swish as made Niagara look like a cow's tail afore I could possibly get in position again. I was n't more 'n halfway down my washin' when the awfulest noise begin outside an' the convention itself was babes sleepin' in soothin' syrup compared to whatever was goin' on in that next room.
Hapgood wanted to know. "I had sorta planned some on sleepin' right here." "Right here! You don't sleep on the ground?" The red-headed man, drawing serenely at his cigarette, went about unharnessing his horses.

"The lieutenant was a kid, just gradooated one of the kind that thinks it's glorious to get killed and read about it in the papers. He led his men into the simple quiet of our camp, crouched and tur'ble, a gun in each hand . . . and there was the United States army and there was the sleepin' Percy, face to face! "'What . . . ! says the lieutenant, falling back ten foot.
What use is there a-tryin' to drop 'em out of your own private collection of stuns? But to resoom. The Esquimos show forth some traits that are dretful interestin' to a philosopher and a investigator. They do well with what they have to do with.

He didn't come near me, nor touch me, and I wur sleepin' afore I could think of my grandmother." "Just so; he is no ordinary man. He's a real student of psychology, he is. He has gone beyond the elements of our profession. I despise the foolish things which these quacks of mesmerism make Billy people do in order to please a gaping-mouthed audience.
But sho! What am I runnin' on this way fur? That lunkhead, Ike, my nephew, ain't such a lunkhead as he looks. Them that say nothin' ain't never got nothin' to take back, an' don't never make fools o' theirselves.
