Besides I sent one of my men over to the island yesterday, and he couldn't find a sign of a vagrant. If any tramps were there they've gone." "Wa-all, maybe," said the farmer, with a shake of his head. "Good luck to you, anyhow!" "Thanks!" laughed Grandpa Martin. "All aboard!" called Ted once more. Then Sam, the hired man, and Grandpa Martin began to row the boat.
"Wa-all, 'twas a thousand pities you let her go, then," said Triggs; "and, though I'm not wantin' to hinder 'ee for you'm so welcome to a passage down to Fowey as you be round to Bristol still, don't it strike 'ee that if her wudn't stay here for yer axin' then, her ain't likely to budge from there for your axin' now?"
The editors of newspapers are another highly privileged class; doing things, daily and hourly, which set all law and justice at defiance, and invading, with perfect impunity, the most precious rights of their fellow-citizens.

"Who's it from? where did 'ee get un?" asked Joan, while Eve exclaimed, "Oh, Joan, see is it from them?" "I can't stay no longer," said Jonathan, preparing to retreat.

Mirandy was totin' water from the spring yonder, an' when she see her she jest dropped the bucket an' screamed thought it was a spook, yer know.
"Wa-all, you could have broke me" said the man who wanted to bet the five hundred dollars to one hundred, "for that there nag o' yourn looks no more like a runner nor I do."

"Wa-all, I allow I'm glad yer take it the right way," declared Josh; then, growing loquacious, he continued: "Fact is, this is mighty cur'ous company of ourn "
