"Well, that much is in her favor," sez I. "Is she good at her studies?" "Where you been that you haven't heard about it?" sez he. "Last winter she out-ciphered an' out-spelt the schoolmarm, an' she fuddled up one o' these missionary preachers till he didn't know where he was at. She has been studyin' about all kinds o' things, an' she cornered him up on the first chapter o' Genesis.
I remembered what Monody had said when I thought he was out of his head about George Jordan an' Jack Whitman, an' the Creole Belle. I knew 'at Barbie was studyin' my face, an' I pertended to spell out the words a letter at a time until I could get full control o' myself. "What kind of a bell is a Creole Bell?" sez I. "She ain't got it spelled right neither."
He did not welcome it, but, if it must come, he preferred that it come not at the hands of conquerors, but under the leadership of his own blood. "I reckon there's right smart truth to that," he acknowledged. "I've been studyin' 'bout hit consid'able myself of late.

She said it was a cause that ought to lay near the heart of every evangelical Christian man, and especially the women.

I was as proud to git a apple as dey is to git a pint o' likker. Course, schools he'p some, but looks lak all mos' o' de young'n's is studyin' 'bout is how to git out o' hones' labor. "I'se seen a heap o' fools what thinks 'cause they is wise in books, they is wise in all things. "Mos' all my white folks is gone, now. Marse Randolph Shields is a doctor 'way off in China.
It was wonderful with what ease these two retired seamen, without instruction, dropped into the farm-master's routine. " the afternoon habits, I mean," explained Dinah. "Just glimpsy out o' window, mistress, an' see the pair o' men down there along studyin' the pigs.
