"Them hawgs sousin' yet?" shrilled Miss Sweeney. She and Miss Fink had climbed down from their high stools, and were preparing to leave. Henri nodded, drearily, and disappeared in the direction of the Pink Fountain Room. Miss Fink walked back to her own desk in the corner near the dining-room door. She took her hat off the hook, and stood regarding it, thoughtfully.
"Whereinell were you, Hughie?" he inquired. "Hunted all over for you. Had a sousin' good time. Went to Babcock's had champagne then to see Babesh in th' Woods. Ham knows one of the Babesh had supper with four of 'em. Nice Babesh!" "For heaven's sake don't step on me again!" I cried. "Sh'poloshize, old man. But y'know I'm William Shakespheare. C'n do what I damplease."
We will make our rules very stringent." "Of course," murmured Pax, with a solemn look, "tremendously stringent. For first offences of any kind a sousin' with dirty water. For second offences a woppin' and a fine. For third dismissal, with ears and noses chopped off, or such other mutilation as a committee of the house may invent.
He called it 'blood money, an' cussed it good an' plenty with an elegant flow. It was his wife. Yes, siree, it was the woman driving the man. She'd located them rustlers by chance only the day before, while he was around Ju's place sousin' rye. When he got home an told her of the reward, she was nigh crazy to git her hands on the dollars. Seems to me ther' must have been a mighty scrap-up.
I listened close, but I couldn't make out whether he stood for sprinklin', pourin', or sousin' clean under. So after he finished I went up an' axed 'im about it. I never shall forget how the feller grinned I reckon I remember it because it made me feel better. He ketched hold o' my hand, he did, an' while he was rubbin' it good an' kind-like, he said: 'Brother, don't let that bother you.
A big Sergeant, with his left arm in a sling, reached over & ketchod him by the collar & held his head above water. "If I pull you out will you promis 2 go out ov the niggor-kotchin bizniss forever?" axed the Sergeant. "Pull me out & then I'll talk 2 you," says the man grabbin for the slippery sides ov the wharfboat. "No, I won't," said the Sergeant, sousin him under water agin.
"Whereinell were you, Hughie?" he inquired. "Hunted all over for you. Had a sousin' good time. Went to Babcock's had champagne then to see Babesh in th' Woods.

I never let on that I'd heard, but PROUD? Aye, even the barkeeper was giving me a recommendation as a man. "HE'S BEEN SOUSIN' HERE WITH NELSON ALL AFTERNOON." Magic words! The accolade delivered by a barkeeper with a beer glass! I remembered that French Frank had treated Johnny the day I bought the Razzle Dazzle. The glasses were filled and we were ready to drink.
"Why, I've had things happen to me shipwreck, you know winds a-blowin' and sousin' the deck and a-gettin' out the boats and yellin' and shoutin' Seems 's if it ought to 'a' been excitin'. But Lord! 'twa'n't nuthin' to what I've felt other times times when it was all still-like on the island here and big so's 't you kind o' hear suthin' comin' to ye over the water.
"I'll take the oath ov allegiance," says the man, sputterin the water out ov his mouth, "but I'll never vote for that Abolition ape as long as I live." "Then down you go," says the Sergeant, sousin him again. "Yes, yes, I'll vote for Abe Lincoln, & anybody else, if you'll only pull me out," said the man, in a tired tone of voice, when he cum up agin.
