McTarrens's four, and the six Blickers, and the ashman's eight, and the Roysters, and little Sallie Simcoe, and old Mr. Jenkinson, and Miss Becky who mends pants and hasn't any front teeth, and Mr. Leimberg. I'd get him specs. He has to hold his book like this" and the palms of two little red hands were held close to Carmencita's eyes. "Oh, Father, please let him go!"
He's run sheep here for the last ten years, but never had no success. "'The old man has sold out and gone West, I tells him. 'Another sheep-fancier bought him out about a month ago. "'What kind of a looking man is he? asks the deputy again. "'Oh, says I, 'a big, fat kind of a Dutchman with long whiskers and blue specs. I don't think he knows a sheep from a ground-squirrel.
Den I specs to put on my golden slippers, my long white robe, an' my starry crown, an' walk dem golden streets, Hallelujah! I've known that dear, old soul to travel going on two miles, after her work was done, to have some one read to her. Her favorite chapter began with, 'Let not your heart be troubled, ye believe in God, believe also in Me."
At times he drew forth his "specs" and, having adjusted them, peeped and peered upward. Like his ears, the old man's eyes were becoming too defective for bee hunting.

I specs some ob you would bin a rootin' fer it yit!" "Well, Uncle Daniel, we were young then; I can't tell what we would have done if we had found it. But we are older now."
"Ve'y well, ve'y well," said Jim, "I wants you to know dat I 'specs to stay out o' yo' chu'ch. I's got two weeks mo' p'obation. You tek hit back, an' gin hit to de nex' niggah you ketches wid a 'possum." Mandy was horrified. The preacher looked longingly at the possum, and took up his hat to go.
"Y'er a foine young bantam," he muttered grumblingly in his wheezy cracked voice, as he stooped to raise my precious box, "but I specs, young maister, yer'll soon ha' yer comb cut, sure-ly!"
