"I'm busy fixin' the smallpox medicine for the sick policeman downtown." Penrod stopped sales to watch this operation.
"Good eyes, good wind, kind to mother perfectly good girl in ev every r-respect," he concluded, emphasizing his sentences by articulating them.

He realized Mary Louise had spoken, paused in his thought and then remembered. "Oh yeah. Don't know but what it's about the best thing to do. Might try it myself soon's I can get enough money together." She made no reply and he watched her dim profile. Her head drooped quite dejectedly. There was a little splash of moonlight on her cheek; tendrils of her hair curled about the line of her neck.
You go into the kitchen, Mary, an' stay there till she's gone, which I won't be long fittin' her, an' I'll get rid of her soon's I can," Mrs. Richards was about to comply with the suggestion, when Jennie, who was still gazing out of the window, exclaimed with a total change of tone: "And here come the little Miss Bradfords, with Jane, and Miss Belle Powers and Miss Lily Norris along with them."
He's got his hide full of coffin varnish somewhere, and of course wants to settle an old score with that Co. A man, who'll likely knock his head off if he catches him.

Dey know better, but dey's wild an' don't care 'bout nothin'. I aint got no time to fool wid 'em. Looks like dey don't care 'bout workin' at nothin'. "I been a-workin' all my life, an' I'se seen good times an' bad times. I loves to work yet. I's gwine out now soon's I git my dinner an' he'p finish pickin' dat patch o' cotton.

Soon's I can talk good, I will. Young folks is allers got to be impatient.
"Tha's right; 'sert on deck, 'joy landscape and pudding together, Rhine steamer style. All right. Be up there m'self soon's I get my coffee." He winked again with drunken sharpness. "I know wha's what. Be up there m'self, 'n a minute." "If you offer to go up," said Staniford, in a low voice, as soon as Lydia was out of the way, "I'll knock you down!" "Captain," said Mr.
"We gotta find out what's doin'. Chances are it's nothin' but a coupla bunches of braves with a cargo of redeye aboard, Tom, you an' Brad scout out an' take a look-see. Don't be too venturesome.
