"I reckon we were teachin' him our canoe was too full," was the Left Bower's unexpected reply. "That's about the size of it." The Right Bower shot a rapid glance under his brows at his brother. The latter, with his hands in his pockets, stared unconsciously at the rushing waters, and then quietly turned away. The Right Bower followed him. "Are you goin' back on us?" he asked.
She has been teachin' him reg'lar for over two years now, an' ef she had 'a' had a right to give diplomies, why, Sonny would 'a' thess took out one from her; but she ain't got no license to gradj'ate nobody. But she knowed what Sonny knowed, an' she knowed thet ef he had a fair show, he'd come thoo creditable to all hands. She loves Sonny thess about ez much ez we do, I believe, take it all round.
Take care they're not set to larn what not to do from lookin' at you. 'Tis Andy that's got the gift ne'er a wan of us has, and he'll show us how to profit by it, if we has sinse. It's thinkin' I am your father, if he was here, would not have been above touchin' up his own talkin' a bit under Andy's teachin'. Your father was for larnin' all he could, no matter who from, old or young."

She's patchin' him a set 'ginst the time he'll marry. 'An' then I reckon he frets her a good deal in school. Somehow, seems like he thess picks up enough in the other schools to be able to conterdic' her ways o' teachin'.
I don't think, though, this is one of that sort; she's kinder childlike, said the landlady, and maybe never had any dolls to play with; for they say her folks was poor before Ma'am undertook to see to her teachin' and board her and clothe her. I could not help overhearing this conversation. "Board her and clothe her!" speaking of such a young creature! Oh, dear!
I'm coming to Brampton to live, to-day." "Great Tecumseh!" exclaimed Ephraim again, overpowered by the yews. "I want to know! What does Jethro say to that?" "He he is willing," she replied in a low voice. "Well," said Ephraim, "I always thought you'd come to it. It's in the blood, I guess teachin'. Your mother had it too. I'm kind of sorry for Jethro, though, so I be.
Got near dead with consumption 'nd come on to Kansas to die. Saw Springvale 'nd thought better of it right away. Was teachin' school and payin' plenty of attention to the girls, especially Marjie. They was an old man Tillhurst when I was a boy. He was from Virginny, too " but I pass that story.
Speakin' o' religion, I never had any experience in teachin', but I didn't s'pose there was any knack 'bout teachin' religion, same as there is 'bout teachin' readin' 'n' 'rithmetic, but I hed hard work makin' Timothy understand that catechism you give him to learn the other Sunday. He was all upsot with doctrine when he come to say his lesson.
Elizabeth looked through the book in her hand slowly before she asked: "Why don't you? I was only about as far along as this in arithmetic last year. Some one said you were ready for it." "Oh, I kin do 'rithmetic all right, but I ain't no good in nothin' else an' an' wouldn't I look fine teachin' school?"
