'I was a-stannin' heah, an' de dog was a-stannin' heah; de dog he went for de shell, gwine to pick a fuss wid it; but I didn't; I says, "Jes' make you'seff at home heah; lay still whah you is, or bust up de place, jes' as you's a mind to, but I's got business out in de woods, I has!"
"Yessah," said Breed, dramatically, rolling the whites of his eyes. "Where?" "Whah? Down on de riveh bank at Temple Bow in de ea'ly mo'nin'! Dey mos' commonly fights at de dawn."

'Cause ef you does," said Emma, waving an arm like a black mule's hind leg for strength, "ef you does, 'stead o' layin' de blame whah it natchelly b'longs on yo' own ig'nance, Peter you'll go thoo dis worl' wid every Gawd's tom-cat you comes by havin' kittens on you!"

"Yo' shuah done gotta use a mo' greasy elbow dan dat, chile," chuckled this imp of Satan aloud, though in a soft voice that seemed out of all proportion to his bulk. Then he gave a half dozen indolent though steady strokes to the handle of the magneto. "Whah am dat 'splosion?" he asked himself in wonderment. "Am mah eardrum done gone busted? Moke, yo' am plumb lazy this night!"

Riverton hadn't seen a bag like that since Reconstruction, and it made the most of its opportunity. "Emma! Aren't you afraid you'll let the cat out of the bag?" Emma remained haughtily silent. "Emma, where you-all goin'?" "We-all gwine whah we gwine, dat 's whah we gwine."

Reckon she runs the kitchen all right. Anyways we's got white folks in the parlah, whah they allus orto be white folks." "Well, you ought to thank your friend what is his name Ducherd Decherd?
