"This here Johnson, now, he likes me like he likes a saddle-galded boil, ever since I maintained that a rider was hired to ride, an' not to moil, an' quit his post-hole-diggin', hay-pitchin', tea-drinkin' outfit, short-handed.
"'I dinna care though I do, says I; 'but I'm no just in a tea-drinkin' dress. "'Ne'er mind the dress, says he. So, at the hour appointed, I stepped awa ower to Hanover Street, in the New Town, where he lived, and was shown into a fine carpeted room, wi' a great looking-glass, in a gilt frame, ower the chimley-piece ye could see yoursel' at full length in't the moment you entered the door.
I werily believe there was change for a couple o' suv'rins in it, then, Sammy, all in ha'pence; and as the people come out, they rattled the pennies in it, till you'd ha' thought that no mortal plate as ever was baked, could ha' stood the wear and tear.

The Swedes and Norwegians in Aroostook County drink it; and they drink it at home."
"Gamble away your own money no, that wa'n't enough take your poor ma's share and your sister's, and take what little I had to keep me in my old age robbed us all that's what comes of thinkin' a damned tea-drinkin' fop could have a thimble-full of brains!" "Don't, please, not just now give it to me good later to-morrow all you want to!"
