"You do look pearter, child but you look different from when you came. My suz! you looked so excited and kind of young when I opened that door, it give me a start for a minute I thought I'd woke out of a dream and you was a Miss in short skirts again. But now let me see you closer."
Until she came to Marsden she had never heard of a cistern; all the water used in her city home had been piped into it from a reservoir, which supplied all the other houses also; but she had learned what Susanna meant by "system," because the Turners had had theirs cleaned out only the week before. "What's the 'manhole, Susanna?" "My suz! You do ask the ridicylousest questions.
When the dumplings are served up by the maidservant, all the people at table cry "Süz, süz, süz !" that being the cry used in calling pigs. Sometimes after dinner the man who "carried the Pig" has his face blackened, and is set on a cart and drawn round the village by his fellows, followed by a crowd crying "Süz, süz, süz !" as if they were calling swine.
For as the widow had pertinently inquired of the hired man, only the night before, "How can a body cook good victuals without ingrejunce? An' what's the greatest ingrejunce in punkin pies if it ain't eggs? Or cake, uther?" to which Moses had jocularly replied: "It might be punkin or flour." And again, Susanna: "My suz! But you air smart, ain't ye? Well, eggs I haven't, an' eggs I shall an' must.
"Dear me, suz, if you boys had to be drug well, I dunno what I'd do!" "Good for you, mom!" said Porky. "I knew you had the spunk. We will be in it somehow ruther, if they don't stick us in school." "How's that?" asked Mr. Potter. The boys proceeded to explain. Mom and Pop, Potter looked slyly at each other. "Education is a great thing," said Pop Potter, filling his pipe. "I must say "
If my father was here, he'd have him in the lock-up." "Poh! it wasn't set for dogs," replied Peter, in an equally cross tone, for both the boys were tired, hungry, and out of sorts. "Don't you know nothin'? That's a bear-trap!" "A bear-trap! Do you have bears up here?" "O, yes, dear me, suz: hain't you seen none since you've been in the State of Maine? I've ate 'em lots of times."

Yes, they both said what a excitement this adventure would make in Jonesville when they told on't.
"My suz! what talk! Well?" "I know there ain't any bone in there, like a regular horse. It's just a wooden bone." Nor was this his last negative thought of the day. It came to him then and there with cruel, biting plainness, that no one else in the house felt as he did toward his chief treasure. Allan didn't. He had spent hardly a moment with it.
"My suz, Kitty! if you ain't the greatest one for bein' everywhere 't anything's goin' on. You hain't been here but a month, yet you know more folks, been into more houses, seems if, than I have, who've lived here all my life. An' the idee! Tearin' away good bricks just to get a wuthless boy out, like that Bob. I cal'late his pa would ha' thought twice 'fore it come to that.
That candy was a bait, a trap, a lure, a anything you choose; and I do hope the little fellers are safer'n I fear they be. If I catch 'em again, for their good My suz! Here they're comin' back of their own free will and wonder ain't ceased!"
