He influenced Cap'n Abe somehow, or someway, so't he cut his hawser and drifted out o' soundings that's sure!

They discussed the matter in one of the full talks they both liked. At the end Mrs. Lander said, "Well, I guess you betta write home, and ask your motha whetha you can go, so't if we take the notion we can go any time.

You see, father, what I was thinkin' of is, a girl would mebbe jump at a two-story, four-roomed ell when she wouldn't look at a smaller place." "Pends upon whether the girl's the jumpin' kind or not!
