"I'd be mighty glad ter call yo' 'wife' now, Maggie," said Jordan; "but I don't reckon it's squar for a man ter take advantage of his nuss."

"They'll all be certain to be there tonight." And the other asked: "And the raid'll be made ter-morrer?" The first-comer replied with a nod. At the next bridge the same thing occurred, and Shorty caught the words: "They've no idee. We'll ketch 'em clean offen their guard." "And the others'll come out?" asked the second-comer.
"Ef de day come w'en I kin stan' up en say fer sho, 'I own mysef, en God ony my Mars'r, I kin starbe ef dat He will. En dat' minds me, young mistis. IS we free? Perkins growlin' roun' agin dis mawnin', en say we he'p 'bout de horspital ter-day, but we all go ter wuk ter-morrer. I 'lowed he orter talk ter us 'bout wages en he des larf en cuss me.

Abe gave a snort, opened his eyes, and muttered sleepily: "This is what I call a A No. 1 spree. Naow, ter-morrer " But mumbling incoherently he relapsed into slumber, puffing his lips out into a whistling sound. Samuel reached for a newspaper on the table, folded it into a missile, and started to fling it into the innocent face of the sleeper.
"You don't mean to say you are going to church!" "Dat's jus' wot I's gwine to do, Miss Annie. I's gwine to chu'ch ter-morrer mawnin'. Dar's gwine to be a big preachin'. Brudder Enick Hines is to be dar, an' dey tell me dey allus has pow'ful wakenin's when Brudder Enick preaches. I ain't ever heered Brudder Enick yit, coz he was a little boy when I use to go to chu'ch."
I'll bet he shows up ter-morrer like a ringmaster in a sucuss, with high, shiny boots an' a long whip an a tall, slick hat, an' crack his whip an' say: 'What will ther leetle lady hev next?" Ben blushed, for his ambitions in the show line, now that he had had a taste of it, had really been in that direction, only he wouldn't have had the boys know it for the world.
Doubtless, he thought, the after-cabin and its doings was always being spied upon. "Will you take the service ter-morrer?" Lund asked Rainey when they were back in the cabin. "Bein' as yo're an eddicated chap?" "Why I don't know it. Is there a prayer-book aboard? I thought the skipper always presided." "I'm only deputy-skipper w'en it comes down to that," said Lund. "It ain't my ship.
Hyar ter-day an' thar ter-morrer. Rides light. Two leetle Parrott guns is the most weight he carries." The idiot's eyes began to widen with slow and baffled speculation. "Whut w-whut ails him ter take arter Tangle-foot? W-w " his great loose lips trembled with unformed words as he gazed his eager inquiry from one to another.
