"I hope grandmother won't miss me." said Lina, "she 's reading a very interesting book." "Let's play Injun!" yelled Jimmy; "we ain't never play' Injun."

"What sort of a yarn have you been giving these passengers, Nick?" demanded the conductor. "Well, Ah jes' done got t' tell 'em sumpin' t' pacify 'em," whispered the darkey. "No use lettin' 'em think dey gwyne t' starb t' death. Ah tell 'em yo' done sent back t' de Junction for a car-load ob eats an' dat it's expected t' arrive any hour. Ya-as, sah!"

It was the dearest girl in the world. "Say, ain't ye comin'?" urged the boy, anxiously. "Coming? Of course I'm coming," cried the man, with sudden energy. "Just catch hold of that chair back there, lad, and you'll see." "Say, now, dat's sumpin' like," crowed the boy, as he briskly started the chair. "'T ain't fur, ye know." Neither the boy nor the Millionaire talked much on the way.
All-vays, I want sumpin bad mooch. I prays de good Lord and all-vays, all-vays, two times now, He it send by next boat. Ach, how I am spoil," and the good Dutchman's eyes filled with tears of thankfulness. Quonab knelt by the sufferer. He felt her hot, dry hand; he noticed her short, quick breathing, her bright eyes, and the untouched bowl of mush by her bed. "Swamp fever," he said.
I'se got a headache, an' a backache, and a toothache in de boot." I suppose the poor old colored woman meant to say that she had a toothache "to boot." "You see, Mr. Blake, Jane's got a little sumpin to do now, and we can git bread enough, thank the Lord, but as fer coal, that's the hardest of all. We has to buy it by the bucketful, and that's mighty high at fifteen cents a bucket.
'Course it don't hold nothin', 'cause the bottom's fell out; but it looks pretty an' looks counts when comp'ny's here!" The boy lifted his head suddenly. "Look a-here! I'll make it hold sumpin'," he cried, diving his hands into his pockets, and bringing out five coppers and a dime. "Youse jest wait. I 'll get a posy up ter de square. 'Course, we 'd ought ter have a posy, wid comp'ny here."
But to be able to transfer part of his mind ... to separate it dissociate it and have it outside of his body and in some other body's mind! "Ain't that sumpin'?" he whistled in awed amazement. Pulling himself together with an effort of will, he set his mind to reviewing carefully the entire episode, and to figuring out where all this might fit in with the business at hand.
Russ continued to dance, and did his best to imitate the colored boy at Aunt Jo's house. He was hard at it when Mammy June, with her eyes almost popping out of her head, cried: "For de lan's sake, boy, come here! I want to ask you sumpin." Russ was in the midst of cutting the pigeon wing again, and this time he was fortunate enough to imitate Sam in almost every particular.
"Da's sumpin' got t' be did fo' all dese starbin white ladies an' gemmen ya-as sah! Dey is jes' about drivin' me mad. I kyan't stan' it."

Beautiful Dog had not known a happy day since the departure of Mr. Johnson. Not all the coddlings of the cook, nor the blandishments of sympathetic housemaids consoled him for the absence of his god.
