Both factions invaded Jerome, and while neither broached the matter directly, strove by indirect and sly methods to ascertain his mind. "S'pose ye'll quit work now, J'rome; s'prised to see ye here this mornin'," said one. "When ye goin' to run for Congress, J'rome?" asked another.
"You see 'tisn't anything to make a fire," he observed to David; "an I'm goin' to build it every single day, after this. Polly'll be so s'prised. Now come on, Dave, let's go an' play," and Joel gave a long and restful stretch.
He wore his coat now, and gently he felt of the bulging pocket, and laughed joyously as he faced the South. "It's goin' to be a long hike, you little cuss," he said softly. "It's goin' to be a darned long hike. But we'll make it. Yessir, we'll make it. And won't they be s'prised when we fall in on 'em, six months ahead of time?"

One day she passed along; an old darkey on shore, absorbed in his own matters, did not notice what steamer it was.
Well, one evenin' Labe was comin' home pretty how-come-you-so, and he fell into Jonadab Wixon's well. Wonder he wa'n't killed, but he wa'n't, and they fished him out in a little while.

Tusk cautiously asked. "The railroad feller owes me a hund'ed dollars I wouldn't be s'prised if it was moh, but a hund'ed'll do to start on. Now don't ask no questions! It don't consarn nobody but him an' me.
