We didn't need no Bible nor preacher, nor sech foolishness in dem days. But when Old Miss wuz willin' we jus' dress up an' walk ober de place an' tell all de niggers we wuz married. Umph, umph! But I wuz proud dat day!

"She persume to come here and order you dis way an' I dat way, an' all us all 'round ebry which way oo but I gived her a piece o' my mind," spake Margery, the weaver, very irate. "Umph!

"Fire neber burn Miss Rusha; she too ugly for dat.
"Umph!" said the peer, "the Flybekins in town! what could have brought them up so far from the country?" "Something that will not detain them long, I hope;" dryly answered Lady B. "Yet, we must take some notice of these country cousins," said the peer: "Let us invite them to a family dinner."
Jones took it up again, held it up at arm's length and then brought it closer to him, while he thoughtfully rubbed his chin with the other hand.
