Polly said, 'O, dear! she was going to die'; but I might have known she wouldn't. She told a wrong story I mean she made a mistake."

I'll give it ter him next time I catch him out!" and Tode ground his heel suggestively into the gravel walk. "Oh, Tode, don't! Please don't fight Dick," pleaded Nan.

"My Tabby's caught a mouse, and father's just come back from the Centre and he's brought the cloth for a new dress for you'n me, 'n I picked holes in the bundles, an' one's blue an' one's red an' which do you s'pose is mine? And Aunt Prudence is comin' to see us next week, an' there's goin' to be a new spout to our rain water barrel, an' I guess that's all."
"I always s'posed," he continued, "that bein' a sojer meant fitin' somebody; and here we are roaming over the country like a lot of tramps. I can't see no good in it, nohow." "Don't be in a hurry.

From what I've hearn the old soldiers tell a battle ain't such a funny thing as a feller thinks who don't know anything about it, like you'n me.
"But plumb pleased to see old Bully West again, eh? It's a damn long lane that ain't got a crook in it somewheres. An' here we are at the turn together, jus' you'n' me, comfy, like I done promised it would be when I last seen you." She writhed in a swift, abortive attempt to break his hold.
