"That 'ere George is jes' like a bird: he goes off at one snappin'." Our host then rolled out toward the bar-room, to discuss with his cronies who we might be. From the window we perceived the birdlike George fly and alight near the specified wood, which he proceeded to bechowder. He brought in the result of his handiwork, as smiling as a basket of chips.
We'll ha' some rag-an'-bone tramp snappin' her up under oor nose, said he; an' he put the wheel over. We were goin' slow. "'Bannister wad like better to go home on a liner an' eat in the saloon. Mind ye what they said o' Holdock & Steiner's food that night at Radley's? Keep her awa', man keep her awa'. A tow's a tow, but a derelict's big salvage. "'E-eh! 'said Bell.
Afterward I recalled that the time of this gracious surrender to law and order was but little subsequent to one morning when a woman who brought butter and eggs to my little sister casually asked when that "purty slim little gal with the snappin' black eyes was a-comin' back." And the little sister, pleased with the remembrance, had said cordially that she was coming soon.
"I've a great mind to box your ears!" breaks in Ella May. "In that case," says I, "I couldn't even promise to be a brother to you." "Wretch!" says she, her eyes snappin'. "Sorry," says I, "but you'll get over it. It may be a little hard at first, but in time you'll meet another who will make you forget."

"Chairs, Boy!" says I, snappin' my fingers at Heiny. But Aunty catches her breath, draws herself up stiff, and waves away the seats. "Young man," says she, "I came here to consult with Mr. Robert Ellins about " "Yes'm," says I, "I understand. Debenture six's, ain't they? Not affected by the reorganization, Ma'am. You see, it's like this: Those bonds were issued in exchange for "
Why, I couldn't no more help reaching my fist to the point of a scab's jaw than could Possum from snappin' at you. They's no explainin' it. What a man has to he has to. The fact that he does a thing shows he had to do it whether he can explain it or not. You remember Hall couldn't explain why he stuck that stick between Timothy McManus's legs in the foot race.

Here you are; I have made you considerable well-known, that's a fact; and will introduce you to court, to king and queen, or any body you please.
She was His stepmother, for all they set so much by one Another. Folks would ha' talked, an' I guess Rosy wouldn't ha' stood that, even afore they were engaged. Rosy may not like corn-fodder herself, any more 'n t'other dog did, but she ain't goin' to see other noses put into't without snappin' at 'em." "Well, it's all over," said Molly, drearily.
'ee never seed sich a snappin', and snarlin', and jumpin', an' yowltin', as when I peppered them donicks down on 'em. He! he! he! Ho! ho! hoo!" And the smoky old sinner chuckled with delight at the remembrance of his adventure. "You reached Bent's then safe enough, I reckin?" "'Ee es.

"I'm goin' to learn someway to write without bitin' my tongue, an' I'll write you as many words every day as I want catridges to shoot off, so that I'll have enough for the next Fourth o' July, and kill all old Pete Walker's snappin' dogs besides." The boys were to leave on the midnight train.
