"I didn't know Traylor them days. If I had, I'd 'a' been prepared for what was comin'. "Traylor stood up nigh the barn door, which Brimstead had closed after we backed the wagon out. "The young feller stepped close to the New Salem man and raised his whip for a blow. Quick as lightnin' Traylor grabbed him and threw him ag'in' the barn door, keewhack!
A letter from Harry to Sarah Traylor tells of the beauty of the day of blue bells and scarlet lilies in the meadow grass, of the whistling quail, of pigeons and wild geese flying across the sky and of his great joy in seeing again the vast sunlit reaches of the level, virgin lands.
He done said you hated the South an' were holpin' niggers to run away." "And he offered to pay you to come here and burn this house and run Traylor out of the county, didn't he?" Abe asked.

"Mr. Traylor, this is Mr. William Berry," said Dr. Allen. "In this beautiful shirt he resembles a bit of vine-clad sculpture from an Italian garden, but is real flesh and blood and a good fellow."
He hit so hard the boards bent and the whole barn roared and trembled. The other feller tried to get his pistol out of its holster, but Brimstead, who stood beside him, grabbed it, and I got his hoss by the bits and, we both held on. The young feller lay on the ground shakin' as if he had the ague. Ye never see a man so spylt in a second. Traylor picked him up.
