Other voices no less inspired had followed; and, living, spoke to us.
"You'd better have minded what the parson says," cries the eldest, "and not a harkened after men voke." "Indeed, child, and so she had," says the mother, sobbing: "she hath brought a disgrace upon us all. She's the vurst of the vamily that ever was a whore."

Jack shuddered at some of the tales that were told him but he harkened breathless and asked for more. "Yes, this Blackbeard is the very wickedest pirate that ever sailed," said Joe Hawkridge in the most matter-of-fact tones.
We agreed that our national lawgivers who were even then framing an immigration law with a view to keeping certain people out of this country, might better be engaged in framing one with a view to keeping certain people in.
