And if, as a matter of necessity, to "keep the cold out of his stomach," occasionally a wayfarer stopped his team and ventured to call for "somethin' warmin'," the testy publican stirred up the beverage in such a spiteful way, that, on receiving it foaming from his hand, the poor customer was half afraid to open his mouth, lest the red-hot flip iron should be plunged down his gullet.
Timothy was always goin' on about constituted authority, an' to him the thing was the thing, even if it was another thing. "'That's right, he insists, his lips disappearin' with certainty.

I'd do it myself, this moment," the mother grew wrathful only to relent, "if I could be sure you weren't sickenin' for something. You're behavin' so unnatural." She eyed him anxiously.
Some of it got into the last cord we bought, an' one night it snapped out, an' most burnt up mother's nightgown an' cap while I was warmin' 'em. We had a real time of it.
