"He says he won't give you your price for they ain't worth it. They ain't particular good for old iron anyway; most on 'em's rusty and crooked. You know they've been on the old coach house for good thirty years, and the Judge used to say " "What will he give?" "A quarter of a cent a pound." "How many pounds are there?" "Fifty-two." "Fifty-two hm-m; he sha'n't have them.
I was a grown girl by den an' could make horsemint tea for chills an' mullen leaves for fever good as anybody; an' horehound tea for colds, bitter as gall. I jus' now caught up how to cook an' sew. "I married when I was nineteen years old. I had nine chillun an' five of 'em's still livin'. Dey looks after me right nice, too. My son in Chicago gimme dis house an' I lives here by myse'f.
I shouldn't marvel none ef some of 'em's watchin' us from them thickets up on thet bluff right now." "Then let's hurry across," Brent nervously suggested.

"Straight for us as ever they can come, sir," replied Tom, as he nimbly descended the rigging again, and swung himself off the low rail to the deck.
SENATOR: Oh, that won't do. HORACE: They're nothing but Reds, I'll say. Well, one of 'em's going back to get his. FEJEVARY: There were three of them last year. One of them is wanted back home. SENATOR: I remember now. He's to be deported. FEJEVARY: The other two protest against our not fighting the deportation of their comrade. They insist it means death to him. SENATOR: I should think not!
I got some black fellers down there that would take a prize in a circus sideshow themselves. One of 'em's over seven foot tall. And strong as wolves," declared Captain Tugg.

"Leastwise that's Jethro's philosophy. When you come to know him, you'll notice how much those fellers walk like him. Never seed a man who had so many imitators.
