I'll never forget the night I sat beside my dyin' fire and felt that I didn't even take no interest in winnin' their money from the boys; and then suddenly most like a voice from outside somep'n in me says: 'What's the matter with you, Sadie Nitschkan, is that you're a reapin' the harvest you've sowed, gipsyin' and junketin', fightin' and gamblin' with no thought of the serious side of life?"
Peck, "because I'm goin' to show you somep'n' about Dave Beasley that'll open a good many folk's eyes when it's in print." "Well, what is it?" I asked, rather sharply. "Jest hold your horses a little bit," he retorted. "Grist and me knows, and so do Mr. Cullop and Mr. Schulmeyer. And I'm goin' to take them and you two reporters to LOOK at it. All ready? Then come on."
"No, I expect she didn't," said Florence. "Mr. Dill, I was goin' to ask you somep'n it's kind of a queer kind of question for me to ask, I guess " She paused.
"Well, then I " Florence paused, glancing at Herbert, for she had just been visited by a pleasant idea and had no wish to share it with him. "Is Aunt Julia in the house?" "She were, li'l while ago." "I want to see her about somep'n I ought to see her about," said Florence. "I'll be out in a minute." She ran into the house, and found Julia seated at a slim-legged desk, writing a note.
Herbert attempted to continue the drowning out. He bawled. "She made it up! It's somep'n she made up herself! She " "Herbert," said Uncle Joseph; "if you don't keep quiet, I'll take back the printing-press." Herbert substituted a gulp for the continuation of his noise. "Now, Florence," said Uncle Joseph, "tell us what you were saying about how Herbert knows he has such 'pretty eyes'."
Course, all de time us gits han'-me-downs from de folks in de Big House. Us what was a-servin' in de Big House wore de marster's old dress suits. Now, dat was somep'n'! Mos' o' de time dey didn' fit maybe de pants hung a little loose an' de tails o' de coat hung a little long. Me bein' de house boy, I used to look mighty sprucy when I put on my frock tail.
But anyway I didn't make fun o' their callin' it 'The North End Daily Oriole' till after they said I couldn't be in it. Then I did, you bet!" "Florence, don't say " "Mamma, I got to say somep'n!
"Whitey," said Bill, "I got somep'n' for you t' do, an' I'm 'fraid it'll take you out o' school for a while." Whitey looked sharply at Bill for a trace of suspicion or sarcasm, but Bill's face was as blank as a Chinaman's. "'S very important," Bill continued, "an' I think your father'd consider me justified in takin' you away fr'm your lessons."
If she comes flappin' around here blattin' and blubbin' how she's goin' to have somep'n to do with our newspaper, why, the only reason I'd ever let her would be because my family say I ought to show more politeness to her than up to now.

Too busy drinkin' an' things, at th' Cut," replied Dorgan, who, however, showed no signs of intoxication. "Better go out t' th' kitchen, an' rustle yourself somep'n'," Bill suggested. "Wong'll get crazy if I monkey with his grub," objected Henry. "I'll take care o' Wong. G'wan, you don't wanta be hungry," Bill said. "I c'd do with some beans an' coffee," Dorgan allowed, and took himself off.
