On the morning on which we take up our Glanyravon narrative Miss Nugent is inflicting herself upon Miss Gwynne, who longs to tell her to go away, but is too polite to do so.

"But 'Gene needn't gredge Watt foothold on this yearth fer sech; she ain't keerin' whether Watt lives or dies," another contributed to the rough, rallying fun. But Wyatt was of sensitive fibre. He had flushed angrily; his eyes were alight; a bitter retort was trembling on his lips when one of the elder Barkers, discriminating the elements of an uncontrollable fracas, seized on the alternative.
Wot kin a nigger earn for yer? Corn, taters, melons: faugh! Tobacco is a givin' out, cotton won't live yer. But Floredey is the hell-dorader of the yearth." "What's the hell-dorader?" asked Levin.

A murmur of assent came from the congregation. Most of them remembered that. "But did enny ob you ebber read, or hab read to you, dat he ebber cas' 'em out o'enny udder woman?"
"Now, Rufe, bubby," a most insinuating tone, Crann had summoned, "all them fool fellers air diggin' up the face of the yearth, wharever they kin find a Chilhowee lily like sarchin' fur a needle in a haystack.
