Both Dan'l and Dave's kinder fiery, 'n' they'd nuther on 'em hev give in with Dusk a-lookin' on they'd hev cut theirselves to pieces fust. Young folks is so foolish; gettin' mad about a gal! Lord knows gals is plenty enough." "Not girls like this one," said Miss Noble, laughing a little. "Waal now, she is good-lookin', aint she? But she's cur'us, Dusk is she's a cur'us creetur."
'But I must say this, for the good creetur, he resumed, wiping his face, when we were quite exhausted; 'she has been all she said she'd be to us, and more. She's the willingest, the trewest, the honestest-helping woman, Mas'r Davy, as ever draw'd the breath of life. I have never know'd her to be lone and lorn, for a single minute, not even when the colony was all afore us, and we was new to it.
She allus has been a good deal by herself sence she got her schoolin', an' most likely doin' lots o' thinkin'. But Telly's all right," he added briefly, "an' the most willin' an' tender-hearted creetur I ever seen or heard on. She'll make an amazin' good wife fer some man, if she ever finds the right 'un." It is needless to say some one else in the boat echoed that belief in thought.
At last, her bundle, and her pattens, and her basket, and everything else, being disposed of, she took a friendly leave of Poll and Mr Bailey, dropped a curtsey to John Westlock, and parted as from a cherished member of the sisterhood with Betsey Prig. 'Wishin you lots of sickness, my darlin creetur, Mrs Gamp observed, 'and good places.
'Not weak, ma'am, retorted Mr. Bumble, drawing his chair a little closer. 'Are you a weak creetur, Mrs. Corney? 'We are all weak creeturs, said Mrs. Corney, laying down a general principle.

Fust place they're called the error-fairies 'case they're all servants to a creetur named Error. She's a cheat and a humbug, allers pertendin' somethin' or other, and she makes it her business to fight a great and good fairy named Love. Now Love oh, chillen, my pore tongue can't tell you of the beauty and goodness o' the fairy Love!
Mebbe she's dyin', chile, an' ef she is but no!" she muttered, "dat ole creetur down-stairs nebber leaves dem back-doors open one minute, you had better believe, even ef he happens to turn his back a spell, an' it would be no use tryin' to git out ob de 'stablishment dat way, but I knows whar she keeps her key, an' I kin go to bed myself if you say so, an' you kin lock de do' inside, an' lay de key back undernefe her pillow: you see dar's a bolt outside, too, honey, an' I means to draw dat after me, as ole Caleb always does ob nights wen he goes to bed."
Gim'me that hank'cher! Fantods is played out. I would ruther play leap frog over a buzz-saw than than pester and rile Marse Alfred, and have the cunstable clawing my collar." "You poor, pitiful, rascally, cowardly creetur! Whar's that oath you done swore, to help 'fend Miss Ellie's child? And you a deacon, high in the church!

"O Gran," says Jemmy with a full heart, "I am not worthy!" But he leaned down and did it.

When I come to have this other creetur ordering everything, and making tea her way, she will boil it and you might as well give me senna, then I knew Polly had some sense and memory, after all. You can't think how I miss her!
