He added, with an access of interest, "Yuh've heard the byes tell the story of the rube that tied up the Swede janitor on the Drive into a knot with his own hose.

Are punchers so damn scarce in this neck uh the woods, that yuh've got to shanghai a man in order to make a full crew?" he demanded of the Happy Family, in the voice of Weary minus the drawl.
I'll niver go back." Mrs. Byrne hitched up her shawl. "Come along then to the da-ary restr'unt. There's no one home to miss me. Ill take a bit o' holiday, this mornin', meself.

"Yuh've relieved my mind a heap, Max, sure yuh have," Obed told him, again relapsing into the vernacular that is usually a part of a woods guide's language.

"If it won't get you in bad with your friends I'll be glad to have you, Sig." "They bain't my friends. Ay bane shook them, an' served notice to that effect." "Glad of it." "Yuh bane goin' in after Struve only?" "Yes. He's the only man I want."
