"Son, look fer the wust," he said. "An' we hain't got time to waste." They pushed open the canvas framework of a door and, stooping low, passed inside. Neale's glance saw first the fireplace, where no fire had burned for days. Snow had sifted into the dugout and lay in little drifts everywhere. The blankets on the bunk covered Service, hiding his face.
If the wust comes to the wust, I can but work at my trade, for I was brought up in a shoe manufactory. It would seem that Marmaduke did not think his society of sufficient value to attempt inducing him to remain where he was, for he addressed no further discourse to the man, but turned his attention to other subjects.
But it's wonderful! When I see you on this pony I was sure you'd be killed, and I made up my mind to give Yates the wust lickin' he ever had." "He's as mild as a lamb now," went on Dave, as he eyed the pony.
Narsac may have a few more rattlers, an' them's the wust kind -you know thet as well as I do. The wust thing I know about Lake Narsac is the ghost up thar." "Is there really and truly a ghost?" queried the doctor's son. "Of course, I don't believe in them," he added, hastily.

"Stay here for the present, Deborah," he answered. "Eh? A'n't I summonsed? The job I undertook isn't done yet; the wust part's to come! Maybe they'll let me off from puttin' the rope round his neck, but I a'n't sure o' that!"
Accordin' to my idee, gamblin's about the wust racket a feller kin work, but it takes all sorts of men to make a world, an' ef the boys is bound to hev a game, I calkilate they'd like to patronize his bank. Thet's made the old crowd mighty mad an' they're a-talkin' about puttin' up a job of cheatin' on him an' then stringin' him up.

"And what'll become of poor Tom?" groaned Arthur. "Wal," said the captain, "don't look on the wust. He may get ashore." "He has no oar. The oar was thrown aboard of the schooner."
Ruth, not minding her Uncle Jabez's strictures, went about setting the supper table with puckered lips, whistling softly. This last was an accomplishment she had picked up from Tom long ago.
