He had chosen "Eugene Aram's Dream" as his recitation, and the tone in which he announced the title was, as Mrs. Multover said, "like cold water running down your back." Every breath was held, every eye started as he told us "It wors the prame of summerer tame, An even-ing ca-alm and kheoule, When-er fower-and-twenty happy baies Cam trouping out of skheoule."
"Think you you can manage them, John?" said his lordship in a whisper, after the door had been secured in the inside. "Pooch, a dizzen o' them, my lort!" replied M'Kay in the same under-tone. "It's twa bits o' shachlin' podies no wors speakin' aboot." "But they are armed, John they have guns and bayonets; and the former are loaded."
I'm a plain sailor plain s'lor, Srr'h. Ph'n'as Bub blunt, commander of the Mal-Mal- Malabar. Wors' 'sh good talkin'?" Sarah allowed a laugh to escape her, and artfully protruded an ankle at the same time. The amorous Phineas lurched over, and made shift to take her hand. "You lovsh me, and I hic lovsh you, Sarah.

I saw 4 Black tail Deer to day before we Set out which came up the mountain and what is Singular Snaped 7 tims at a large buck. it is Singular as my gun has a Steel frisen and never Snaped 7 times before in examining her found the flint loose to describe the road of this day would be a repitition of yesterday excpt the Snow which made it much wors to proseed as we had in maney places to derect our Selves by the appearence of the rubbings of the Packs against the trees which have limbs quiet low and bending downwards

Being embarqued, the wild men tould me we should goe on the other side of that broad river.
