"Thin thot Durade lost his spache fer a minnit, foamin' at the mouth wid rage. If yez niver seen a greaser mad thin yez niver seen the rale thin'. His face changed yaller an' ould an' wrinkled, wid spots of red. His lip curled up loike a wolf's, an' his eyes they wint down to little black points of hell's fire. He wuz crazy. "'Look at her! he yelled. 'Allie Lee! Flesh an' blood yez can't deny!
"His name's Desmit," said a white man, the sheriff of the county, who stood leaning over the railing; "used to belong to old Potem Desmit, over to Louisburg. Mighty good nigger, too. I s'pec' ole man Desmit felt about as bad at losing him as ary one he had." "Powerful good hand in terbacker," said Mr. Glass, who was himself an expert in "yaller leaf." "Ther' wasn't no better ennywhar' round."
I said to myself, then, if that ain't a lie I will eat that king if they will fetch him, for even Methusalem warn't that old, and nobody claims it. As we come a little nearer we see the yaller sand come to an end in a long straight edge like a blanket, and on to it was joined, edge to edge, a wide country of bright green, with a snaky stripe crooking through it, and Tom said it was the Nile.
'Wot you mean, you triflin' sarpint, says she, 'a fotchin' me dat apple wot ain't good fur nuffin but ter make cider wid? Den de sarpint he go fotch her a yaller apple, an' she took one bite, an' den says she: 'Go 'long wid ye, you fool sarpint, wot you fotch me dat June apple wot ain't got no taste to it?

It is a matter of utter indifference to the ex-slaveholders what this calumnious little fice says about them, if he will but refrain from voiding his fetid rheum upon their families. Doubtless some slaveholders were degraded sensualists, but such were exceptions to the rule. Not one yaller nigger in a hundred is the child of its mother's old master.
"You can always get it," she said patronizing. "Nay I'm blest if you can. It's no use tryin' to educate a man over forty not by book-learning. That isn't saying he's a fool, neither." "And what better is them that's got education?" put in another man. "What better is the manager, or th' under-manager, than we are? Pender's yaller enough i' th' face." "He is that," assented the men in chorus.

Don't stan' ther' waggin' your fool tail like a whisk-broom. Say, you yaller cur, I'll " He started to fetch the creature, but in a twinkling it had fled, to the accompaniment of a fresh outburst from Jamie.
Their eyes met through a long moment, and then the glance of Buck wavered and fell. "Buck," said Silent, "I like you. I don't want to believe what Purvis says. Give me your word of honour that Whistlin' Dan " "He's right, Jim," said Buck. "An' he dies like a yaller cur!" broke in Purvis, snarling. "No," said Silent, "when one of the boys goes back on the gang, they pay me, not the rest of you!
Bud saw the sweat start on his skin as he tried to pull the injured foot towards him. "S'pose I do it?" the boy suggested. "You've not got the nerve, Bud. Why, you're yaller as cheese, you poor little cuss." "I'm not," said the boy, flushing suddenly. He took the knife and began to cut the tough leather: a delicate operation, for Jeff's leg from knee to ankle was terribly swollen.
The man they called Ed said the muddy Mississippi water was wholesomer to drink than the clear water of the Ohio; he said if you let a pint of this yaller Mississippi water settle, you would have about a half to three-quarters of an inch of mud in the bottom, according to the stage of the river, and then it warn't no better than Ohio water what you wanted to do was to keep it stirred up and when the river was low, keep mud on hand to put in and thicken the water up the way it ought to be.
