But by this time he was gone; so we all turns back to wrastle with this sad man, who evident was intending to mix it with us. When all three of us Old Man Wright and Bonnie Bell and me went inside the door of that big new house we stood there for a minute or so; and at first I thought we had got into the wrong place especial since that sad man looked like he thought so too.
"Ye see, when onybody gets as low as puir Saunders here, it's juist a hand to hand wrastle atween the fever and his constitution, an' of coorse, if he hed been a shilpit, stuntit, feckless effeegy o' a cratur, fed on tea an' made dishes and pushioned wi' bad air, Saunders wud hae nae chance; he wes boond tae gae oot like the snuff o' a candle.
We are going to 'wrastle' you out of here, just as I say, Bert, my boy, at any cost, and it's a piece of great good luck that you won't have to count the pennies in whatever it may cost." "But I shall have to count them if our mine is shut down." "Not if you and your partners make this sale to the Lawrenceburg people. Five millions will give each of you a million and two-thirds apiece.
The face, with its crude features and deep furrows, relaxed into intense soberness. And Mr. Lincoln began his story with a slow earnestness that was truly startling, considering the subject. "This apprentice, Judge, was just such an incurable as you." And the old man used to wrastle with him nights and speak about punishment, and pray for him in meeting. But it didn't do any good.
At dat place she come up to me an' says, 'Samson, I'll wrastle you! 'Go long, says I, 'I kin't wrastle no woman like you. 'You got to, she says, swearin' like a man, an' takin' holt of me jess like a man wrastles.
Some of the folks there hadn't had no suppers, so after all the other sinners but Hank had either got converted or else sneaked away, some of the women says why not make a kind of love feast out of it, and bring some vittles, like they does to church sociables. Because it seems likely Satan is going to wrastle all night long, like he done with the angel Jacob, and they ought to be prepared.
Get up; tchuk him two time. Head go close up alonga stone. Two fella wrastle all about long time. Cap'n strong fella. That boy more strong. Knock 'em about like anything.

And if ever you find a taste for statuary growing on you, William, keep it down, wrastle with it, and don't encourage it. Farewell, William! Be here at the usual time to-morrow, though whether you will find me here is more than I can say."
Bill tried three times to sink his knife into the old chief, but there was such a cavortin' in the wrastle between him and the boy, he was afraid to try any more, for fear it might hit Rube instead. Suddenly the Ingin fell to the floor as dead as a trapped beaver what's been drowned; Rube had struck his buckhorn-handled hunting-knife right into the heart of the brute.
He stood a hundred-foot without a knot or limb; could wrastle or run or jump, an' was good to cut a 4-bit piece at one hundred yards, offhand, with his old 8-squar' rifle. He never shoots squirrels, my father don't; he barks 'em. An' for to see the skin cracked, or so much as a drop of blood on one of 'em, when he picks it up, would have mortified the old gent to death.
