"Well, you'd better be thankful that we don't blow on you for sellin' whisky without license." "Dar ain' no proof o' de fack dat I has sol' none ter-night," said the old negro, shaking his head.
But Judy, apparently without hearing him, continued: "'Seems like I can sense a little ter-night what Auntie Sue an' youuns are allus a-talkin' 'bout the river, 'bout hit's bein' like life an' sich as that.

"But see here, Ramon," he went on, dropping his tone, "we ain't here to molest you. We come out here with a scientific gent, to measure the mesa.

I'll give you my word and you know it's good that we don't want ter meddle with your affairs so long as they don't affect us.
