"But but I see you drownd yourself before my very eyes!" "No, you did not, or I shouldn't be standing here now!" "But but oh, lor'!" groaned Jerry, with his voice growing faint and piteous, "is is it really you S'Rich ?" "Silence! I'm Dick Smithson, now!" cried the young man fiercely. "But you was S'Richard," groaned Jerry, "before you come to life again!" "What nonsense are you talking now?"
Spec he done drownded now," excitedly yelled one old auntie to a broad shouldered darkey who was running to the bank. Then as both boat and Boyton swept by, they could hear her say: "Dere's de onliest man ebber I see dat'll let a fellah human drownd afore his eyes. Him de wickedest man in de worl'."
Bunnett good-bye becos 'e said he'd got to get back to 'is work, and Mr. Bunnett had 'ardly got 'ome afore Henery Walker turned up full of anxiousness to ask his advice about five little baby kittens wot 'is old cat had found in the wash-place: the night afore. "'Drownd them little innercent things, same as most would do, I can't, he ses, shaking his 'ead; 'but wot to do with 'em I don't know.
"Never a solitary word, so help me. What makes you ask?" "Well, I was afeard." "Why, Tom Sawyer, we wouldn't be alive two days if that got found out. YOU know that." Tom felt more comfortable. After a pause: "Huck, they couldn't anybody get you to tell, could they?" "Get me to tell? Why, if I wanted that half-breed devil to drownd me they could get me to tell. They ain't no different way."
And as to anybody ashore attemptin' to meddle with the ship why, they'd sooner jump overboard and drownd theirselves. So that it ain't so very wonderful, a'ter all, to my mind, that they believes their gold to be perfectly safe. Besides, there's the San Fernando battery: who'd ever dream of that bein' attacked and took?"
"Voice like his, too!" muttered the Postilion, backing away still farther; "yes, onnat'ral's the word strike me dumb if it ain't!" "Come, will you do as I ask, or must I make you?" "Why, I ain't got no objection to taking the gent's 'eels, if that's all you ask, though mind ye, if ever I see such damned onnat'ralness as this 'ere in all my days, why drownd me!"

"The Banshee may come or not," said the man; "but I have my message to yez, and it is this: If you don't get Squire O'Shanaghgan to let me keep my little bit of land, and to see that I aint evicted, why, I'll you're a bonny lass, you're as purty a young lady as I ever set eyes on, but I'll drownd yez, deep down here in this hole.
Why can't they all be Episcopalians?" But 'tennyrate all religions are tolerated here, and as Arvilly told Miss Meechim when she wuz bewailin' the fact that they wuzn't all Episcopals and wuzn't more like our country. Sez Arvilly, "They don't drownd what they call witches, nor hang Quakers, nor whip Baptists, nor have twenty wives.
Got yourself to think of as well as your money. You don't want to engage a skipper and a crew of good men and true, and drownd them all at sea." "Well, no," said Uncle Paul dryly; "our ambitions don't lie in that direction, do they, Rodd?" "No, uncle, but no man would be such a wretch as to sell you a ship that wasn't safe." "Not unless he got the chanst," said the skipper, frowning.
