Her house hain't a stun's throw from the Old Men's; an' I'll offer ter come an' take keer o' them air young 'uns o' her'n fer my board an' keep an' ten cents a week. I was a-gwine ter say a quarter, but I don't want ter impose on nobody.
I'm askin' you to take keer of Ole Samanthy til I come fer her and Miss Sarah ain't got no call to worry, fer I could always take keer o' myself. It was signed "Stephen O'Mara." Sarah's face went white when she had read it through. Her knees weakened under her and she had to sit down. "Why, Cal why, Cal, he's he's gone," she quavered. And Caleb nodded down into her stricken face.
"Where do you keep your horses?" "In the barn here to the left. What kind of a horse did you think you'd keer fur most, stranger?" "The biggest, the strongest and fastest you've got" "I thought mebbe you'd want one with wings, you 'pear to be in such a pow'ful hurry. I wish you wouldn't keep that pistol so near to my nose.
So that only I could hear him, he added, "Tak' good keer on 'er, Master Noll. Jin's awful sot on 'er, and wunna luk at me if any 'arm 'appens 'er." I gripped his hard hand, gave him my parting message home, and then crouched and pushed the boat into and down the stream.

T'ank God! Nimbus don't keer now! He ain't afeared ob nuffin' no mo', now he's seen de little angel dat use ter watch ober him, an' dat he's been a-dreamin' on all dese yeahs!
He did not reply, but just then a pair of thin arms were put around his neck and a soft cheek was placed close to his own. "Come on, Buddie," whispered "Little Sister," "Mammy an' me know you didn't mean to do it, an' we don' keer." Bud threw his arms around his little sister and held her tightly.
"Have a chaw, Dick?" asked Billy, offering his plug of tobacco. "Don't keer if I do," acquiesced Dick, biting off a goodly mouthful. Seating themselves upon a fallen hickory log, they chewed and expectorated, recalling old times, and enjoying their laugh with the careless freedom of their childhood days.
"Not to mention the risks you run with the boys," added the storekeeper easily, amused by the play of indifference. "Oh, I guess Shanty Town can take keer of itself," observed Matthews, sending up smoke rings. Lounsbury walked out.
