He had a lot of young alligators, rattlesnakes, lizards, and other critters; and I let him put 'em in that room. He screwed the boards over the winder so they couldn't git out. I cal'late this was one of his snakes."
"Do you see them men on the cotton, Bokes?" he asked, pointing with one of them at the six Belleviters, who stood where they had taken their stations after hoisting up the quarter-boat. "I see sunthin over thar," replied the seaman, who seemed to be hardly awake yet. "Them's the new crew I shipped to-night six on 'em, or seven with the second mate," added the captain.
She never came home agin. Bear nabbed her, and tore her most ridiculous. He eat what he wanted, which was no trifle, I can tell you, and left the rest till next time. "Don't talk to me, Squire, about merits. We all want a lift in this world; sunthin' or another to lay hold on, to help us along we want the cow's tail. He'll fetch her home safe at last, and no mistake, depend on it, Squire.
"The doctor shut him up then, an' I didn't hear no more, but I remembered the language, an' arterwards, when I got a chanst, I looked in the school-teacher's dictionary. It said as how the appendix was sunthin' appended or added to, but I couldn't get no more about it.

Yes, the water is good. And it is dretful smart, knowin' water too.
I'll ring up the handsum chamber-maid, and just fall to, and chaw her right up I'm savagerous.* 'That's cowardly, sais I, 'call the footman, pick a quarrel with him and kick him down stairs, speak but one word to him, and let that be strong enough to skin the coon arter it has killed him, the noise will wake up folks I know, and then we shall have sunthin' to eat.
Well, sunthin' or another was said over their cups, that might as well have been let alone, I do suppose, tho' dear me, what is the use of wine but to onloosen the tongue, and what is the use of the tongue, but to talk. Oh, cuss 'em, I have no patience with them.

Jordan blushed like a girl. "It war nothin', ladies," he said; "only it seemed like it war necessawy sunthin' should be done, and right soon. So I interfeerd as well's I could."
Good land! if each one on 'em knowed a little and would teach it they ort to keep a first-rate school. And it also uses a Referendum. Arvilly disputed me when I spoke on't; she thought it wuz sunthin' agin 'em, but it hain't. It helps the people. If they don't like a law after it passes the legislature they have a chance to vote on it.
