She'll be good comp'ny for our Emma Jane, but I don't believe they'll keep her three months! She looks black as an Injun what I can see of her; black and kind of up-an-comin'. They used to say that one o' the Randalls married a Spanish woman, somebody that was teachin' music and languages at a boardin' school. Lorenzo was dark complected, you remember, and this child is, too.
Up to now there hasn't been a force in all Gawd's world that could 've come 'tween me an' the things you're teachin'. I didn't care about Potter. He was in the way. I've got no sorrows about anythin' since that day I drew sights on yoh Pappy's head, an' now.
"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 water, and then quietly turned away. The Right Bower followed him. "Are you goin' back on us?" he asked.
So the afternoon passed and the two descended again to the dusty country road, each feeling refreshed and stimulated by the hours spent together. That September Amanda began her third year of teaching at Crow Hill. "I declare," Millie said, "how quick the time goes! Here's your third year o' teachin' started a'ready. A body gets old fast." "Yes, I'll soon be an old maid school teacher."
"What I think you childern need is a talk about fussin' an' fightin'. There ain't no use in me teachin' what they done a thousand years ago, when you ain't got manners enough to listen at what I am sayin'. I recollect one time durin' the war, when the soldiers was layin' 'round the camp, tryin' they best to keep from freezin' to death, a preacher come 'long to hold a service.
And that is why," sez he, "that wimmen have all through the ages been allowed to do most all the hard work in the church such as raisin' money for church work earnin' money in all sorts of ways to carry on the different kinds of charity work connected with it teachin' the children, nursin' the sick, carryin' on hospital work, etc., etc.

Mrs. Spafford, having two children of her own, tried to enlist our sympathies. "I'm kinder sick," she told us, "of cookin' an' teachin'; an' the hot weather's comin' on, too. You'd oughter let 'em hev that old adobe." "But who will teach the children?" we asked. "We've fixed that," said Mrs. Spafford.
You go ahead and stuff her, John; stuff her as full of learnin' as she'll hold. It'll be cheaper for me than sendin' her off to school and fittin' her up to be a rich man's wife, and you can do her just as much good more, from what she tells me. You go right ahead and stuff her, John." "Huh!" said John. "Earl, he'll look after your sheep while you're teachin' Joan her books.
"Well, Auntie Sue," said the Sheriff, settling his ponderous bulk in one of the old lady's rocking-chairs, which certainly was not built to carry such a weight, "how are you? I haven't seen you in a coon's age. I'll swear, though, you ain't a minute older than you was when you first begun teachin' the little Elbow Rock school up there on the hill, are you?"
