Can take anngelliferous down 'ar a shoot that war ever seed!" "And why, in Heaven's name," cried the Virginian, "did you not say so before, and relieve her from this horrible situation?"
"I call that punkin out of season," said Grandpa, recklessly. "Strikes me so." "I was talkin' about fruits. I wasn't talkin' about punkins," said Grandma, with derisive conclusiveness. "Wall," said Grandpa, very much aroused, "if you call them tarnal white beans the fruits of God, I don't!" "Don't you consider that God made beans, pa?" "No, I don't!"
"Hold-ups, by the 'tarnal," yelled the driver, accompanying his words with a whirl of oaths. "Down behind the coach, Sam!" addressing the guard, who always rode beside him on the box with loaded rifle; "we'll stand 'em off, or I'm a greaser." The guard leaped down behind the coach at the same moment that Bert and Dick and Tom made for the same shelter.
It was the gun they used to keep loaded and hanging in straps in a room of the kitchen ready for a shot at a cunning old hawk that they called ''Tarnal Death', and that used to be always after the chickens. When Mary lifted her face it was as white as note-paper, and her eyes seemed to grow wilder when she caught sight of me. 'Oh, you did frighten me, Mr Barnes, she gasped.

Perhaps they will get sight of him tomorrow, and Harry and the chief will bring him down if he is within range of their shooting-irons. It is 'tarnal dark up here."
They're very good, teacher, ale-whops are very good, though they're bony as the they're 'tarnal bony, teacher. They're what we call herrin's in the winter." Grandpa then laughed a little and showed his teeth.
"Oh, my boys, that's nonsense," said Joe; "either do the job, or let it alone. Av you've a mind to let Captain Ussher walk into your cabins and take any of you off to Carrick, jist as he plazes why you can; but I'm d d if I does!

"Wal, I reckon them bisness fellars have so many papers, round that its 'tarnal queer they don't loose money, but ten to one this 'ere thing don't amount to a goose egg."
