"And they'll have to break in an egg or two after that, I guess, to make it white and clear, as Aunt Polly does her sugar," added Teezle. "Don't make light of it," said Fabens. "With God all things good are possible. I would not add a single pain to his misery. Who of us "
"Indeed, Miss Teezle, and you are certain of this; and now can you tell me if it was when you were going after the berries, that you saw him; or after you had picked them, and had started after home?" "It was after we had been after the berries, and after we had started after home." "Yes; and did you notice the gait in which he moved along; notice it with your own eyes, Rebecca?"
How I did feel when the creature sprung and catched little Clinton in his paws! Awful! But then, I've a little more hope from the dream." "So've I, Miss Fabens," responded Uncle Walter, in a tone of great animation. "So've I. Come on, boys, let's look awhile longer. Come, Wilson, come, Colwell and Teezle.
"Then you sometimes see with eyes not your own, do you, Miss Teezle?" said Lawyer Faddle with a comical leer, and a peculiar pipe of that killdeer voice. "Yes, I take owl's eyes when I want to look at a lawyer."

"That may be all so, but I'd a given him some, I swanny, if I had a ketched him in my grainery," said Colwell. "I never see it in Fabens's light afore," interrupted Teezle. "Nor I," "nor I," added others; and the discussion ended.
"The one on the tree, that watched me half a day, cat-fashion? or the one that dogged me through the Owasco woods? or the one that chased me home to the chips?" asked Uncle Walter. "Any one will answer to wean Fabens of his fright," said Teezle. "Well, I'll tell the first that comes up in my mind," said Uncle Walter, "and may be another one still will come.
Nancy Nimblet was called, and she testified that "She was with 'Becca Ann Teezle, on the time specified, and she remembered it too, as if it was yesterday; and the prisoner came from the direction of the complainant's barn, with a log-chain round him, over his right shoulder, and under his left arm."
