"No no, I ain't a-worryin' none, but Clay, I'd hate a heap for any harm to come to that li'l' girl." His voice quavered. "Sho! We're right on their heels, Johnnie. So are the cops. We'll make a gather and get Kitty back all right." Miss Annie Millikan's pert smile beamed through the window at Clay when he stepped up. "Hello, Mr. Flat-Worker," she sang out. "How many?"

Country wimin works all day an' as often as not dandles a babby all night, they've not got a minnit but what they aint a-troublin' an' a-worryin' 'bout 'usband or childer, an' their faces is all writ over wi' the curse o' the garden of Eden. Selfish? They aint got the time!
I felt that I couldn't bear to git there any later and keep France a-waitin' for us, a-worryin' for fear we wouldn't git there at all, so we went post-haste from Calcutta to Bombay and from there to Cairo and on to Marseilles; though we laid out to stop long enough in Cairo to take a tower in Jerusalem. Holy Land, wuz I, indeed, to see thee? We wuz considerable tired when we got to Bombay.
And I sot there all alone, and a-meditatin' on things, and a-wonderin' what under the sun he wuz a-traipsin up to Joe Charnick's for at that time of night, and a-worryin' some for fear he wuz a-keepin' Miss Charnick up, and a-spozin' in my mind what Miss Charnick would do, to get along with the meetin' house, and the Conference question, if she wuz a member.

It's bad enough when th' wife don't know where ye are, but when ye don't know where th' wife is an' her apt ter turn up anny minnit! Ah, let him worry; it's good f'r him.
