Last, hows'eber, I was so dead tired, and so dead sleepy, dat I couldn't keep awake no longer, and so I fell fas' asleep, and now, Marse Ishmael, listen, 'cause I gwine to tell you somethin' wery 'stonishin'! Sure as I'm a-libbin' 'oman, standin' here afore your eyes, when I drapped asleep I was in dat dark den, unner de groun', and when I waked up I was in a ship sailin' on de big sea!
"Somethin' 'stonishin' 'bout what comes of it, though," resumed the deacon. "'Twas only yestiddy thet Bill was kerryin' a bucket of dirt to the crick, an' jest ez he got there his foot slipped in, an' he went kerslosh.

'Stonishin' to see how good the critter got all at once.
'Stonishin' how he's made his way up. If money's what he wants in this world, he's making a long stride now to 't." The young doctor lighted his cigar, asserting that "Ba George, some low people did get on, re-markably! Mary Herne, now, was best catch in town."
