"I won't desist," sez he, "I won't desist."
The lady kind uv started like she wuz frightened, 'nd then she looked up at Bill 'nd looked him right square in the countenance. She saw a tall, ganglin', awkward man, with long yaller hair 'nd frowzy beard, 'nd she saw that he wuz tremblin' 'nd hed tears in his eyes.
"'Tremblin' sinner, calm your fears! Jesus is always ready. Cease your sin and dry your tears, Jesus is always ready!"

Fer the fust time in her life, she looked harnsome, leastways I thought so, with a pretty color in her cheeks, somethin' brighter'n a larf shinin' in her eyes, an' her lips smilin' an' tremblin', as she come to me an' whispered so's't none er the rest could hear, "'Hiram, don't yeou dew it, ef yeou'd ruther not.

He shet the door, and stood with his back against it; and says to me, with his voice fairly tremblin' with his emotions, "It will throw you, Samantha! you don't want to buy it."

"'They aims to go stampedin' off with them nocturnes, an' 'peggios, an' arias, an' never say nothin', says Dave; 'but they can't work no twist like that, an' me a-ridin' herd; none whatever.
But he choked back his tears, tried to smile on 'em with his tremblin' lips, held 'em both long in his strong arms, onclosed 'em, and they wuz bereft.
