Sneezer uplifted his voice, and gave a long continuous growl. "Ah!" said Mangrove sharply, "Massa Captain, something near we never doubt dat de dog yeerie someting we can't yeerie, and see someting we can't see." I had lived long enough never to despise any caution, from whatever quarter it proceeded. So I listened, still as a stone. Presently I thought I heard the distant splash of oars.
"You buy someting me, I buy someting, this bear," he finally said to the farmer. This proposition was greeted by some neighbors' children with a chorus of wails and the housewife too objected, but to the farmer, who was much perplexed to know what to do with the bear, it seemed like quite a Providential opening.
"Sometime you and I vill go camping and you vill make someting like dis, mein Liebchen?" he said to Aunt Phoebe, indicating the slumgullion.

Still I was bery anxious, and tought I would sit up till de last train came in from Richmond. Den I tink I dropped off to sleep." "I think you did, Dan. Well, I am too tired to tell you anything about it now, but I have one piece of news for you: Tony has come back to his wife." "Dat's good news, sah; bery good news.
