"I done dreamt that I had swallered a double wagon and that the tongue o' the wagon were stickin' out o' my mouth. It were a cur'ous dream an' I cain't tell what you'd make of it, but I done tuk it for a sign that my tongue were to be used on the gospel." "It shows that a man who can swaller a wagon can swaller anything," said Abe. "But I'm glad you took it for a sign.
It might have verdigrease on it." "What's verdigrease?" "It's p'ison. That's what it is. You just swaller some of it once you'll see." So Tom unwound the thread from one of his needles, and each boy pricked the ball of his thumb and squeezed out a drop of blood. In time, after many squeezes, Tom managed to sign his initials, using the ball of his little finger for a pen.
'Ah, observed Mrs Pulchop, 'you're only a weak gal, and men is that obstinate they'd swaller bricks like ostriges sooner nor give in as it hurt 'em.

"But," philosophically, "they're our meal-tickets, so we got to swaller 'em."

He was holler as us, and that bird was lost long 'fore it got to his stummick. It was ist a little one, anyway. Belle said it wouldn't 'a' made a bite apiece for three of us nohow, and the dog got one good swaller. We didn't get much of the meat, either. Pa took most of that. Seems like pas and dogs gets everything." Billy laughed dolefully. Involuntarily Wesley Sinton reached his hand.
Starting to her feet, Madam Conway's bonnet went on in a trice, and taking her shawl in her hand she walked outdoors, barely expressing her thanks to Mrs. Douglas, who, greatly distressed at her abrupt departure, ran for the herb tea, and taking the tin cup in her hand followed her guest to the carriage, urging her to "take a swaller just to keep from vomiting."
How do you know that?" "I seed him! Ain't that enough? He started right up the road on a gallop, with the blood dripping from his jaws!" "But where is he now?" "He went a little way, stopping now and then to swaller some one that warn't quick 'nough to git out of his path; he went over the hill this side of Briggsville, where you know we couldn't see him.
"'Is it berry bad to swaller, sais I, 'Missus? I is most afeard it will spile the 'finement of my taste.
