"`Dey look, Massa, said he, after gazing at them for some moments, `dey look zackly like some varmint war a-vexin' ob 'em. "So did they, but no `varmint' appeared to be near their hole; and no animal, however thick in the skin, would have ventured into it, as we thought.
"It's a lie, sir," repeated his Eeverence; "you don't fulfil it. What is the church?" "The church is the congregation of the faithful that purfiss the true faith, and are obadient to the Pope." "And who do you pay tithes to?" "To the parson, sir." "And, you poor varmint you, is he obadient to the Pope?"
'Thank you, Daddy; I'll remember the receipt. I say, were you ever in Purcell's shop? 'Purcell's shop? Why, of course I was, you varmint! Wasn't it there I met my Isabella, his sister? Ah, the poor thing! He led her a life; and when I was his assistant I took sides with her that was the beginning of it all.
There was a slight smile on the face of Daniel Boone as he said, "Did they? Was it necessary?" he added, as he turned to his son. "Yes, sir," replied young Boone. "The varmint was just ready to spring on Peleg. He was crouching on the branch of a tree directly over him, and if I had not fired he would have had him." "It must be right.

"Then, when I called him by his name Bill Stubbs, and asked what had become of the sloop, he said that he knew nothing at all about the sloop, and swore that he had never set his eyes on my figure-head before, the varmint ugh!"

"It's the varmint," said one in awed tones, "that flits up and down in the low grounds at night, saying, 'Willie-wallo!" "It's the venomous Kypootum," proclaimed another. "It stings after it's dead, and hollers after it's buried."
