"Not exactly married; but listen hither, Jerry you don't know the man you're spakin' to it's a gift that God gave me but, you don't know the man you're spakin' to; however as for poor Letty, I'll provide for her some way the poor affectionate crature; an' she's good-lookin' too; however, as I said, I'll do something for her some way," and here he nodded and winked with most villainous significance.

"Now your own mudder wouldn't know you," said Dinah, stepping back to survey her work, and, strange to say, putting her black head quite artistically a little on one side. "You's a'most as good-lookin' as myself if you was on'y a little fatter. Now, mind, you's a dumb gal! Can't speak a word. Don't forgit dat. An' your name's Geo'giana. Come along."
Dave was a good-lookin' chap, too; but we couldn't get her to say a word not one. We finished the first blanky course, and, while she was gettin' our puddin' from the side-table, Dave says to me in a loud whisper, so's she could hear: "Ain't she a stunner, Joe!

With good, sensible shues on, dealin' out comfort to the amiable feelin' feet; rosy cheeks, bright eyes, all bearin' witness to the joys of sensible dressin' and sensible livin'. And then there wuz bright pert-lookin' young wimmen, travelin' alone in pairs, and havin' a good time to all human appearance. Anon good-lookin', manly men, with sweet pretty wives and a roguish, rosy little child or so.
Gay awnings wuz over the doors and winders, flowering shrubs and posies set off the yards, and the piazzas ornamented by the good-lookin' folks settin' out on chairs and benches, the wimmen in light, pretty summer gowns, and there wuz babies in their perambulators perambulatin' along and pretty children runnin' and playin' about.
"I live about a quarter of a mile from here," said Latimer. "The brick house with the bay windows, opposite the square. Number 89." "I'd rather see ye in," replied Stamps, cautiously. "I might go into a house I do not live in," returned Latimer. "Ye won't. It's too late. Ain't ye gwine to say nothin', Mr. Latimer?" "What do you want me to say?"
