The jedge an' jury thunk the same, fur they 'lowed ez she war crazy an' so she war, ter hev ever married him!
"Keep an eye on that thar valley man, an' find out all 'bout'n him. Else the killin' 'll be laid ter Con, who never done nuthin' hurtful ter nobody in all his life." "The idee jes' streck me ter-day whenst I viewed him along about that road. Whenst that thar dead man tuk yer han' an' tried ter find a word of speech Why, hullo, Narcissa!"
