Were you not the colored man who told me you had lost your wife and six children by the sinking of the Titanic?" "Yeth, ma'am, dat wuz me. Mos' unfort'nit man dat eber wuz. Kain't keep a fam'ly nohow." An old lady, who was sitting on the porch of a hotel at Asheville, North Carolina, where also there were a number of youngsters, was approached by one of them with this query: "Can you crack nuts?"
"Pish!" snapped the creditor. "'T is purely temporary; within a twelve-month there'll be law enough. Think ye England is sleeping?" "We'll see, we'll see," retorted Hennion. "In the meantime, squire, I hope yer won't wont because I don't pay interest. Times is thet onsettled thet yer kain't sell craps naw nothin, an' ready money 's pretty hard ter come by." "Not I," rejoined the squire.
Whenever it comes day, we got all the best uh things though I don't reckon we'll have a walkaway. We want t' make a clean job once we start in, an' we kain't do that in the dark. Furthermore, as I said before, if we go t' throwin' lead when we kain't see ten feet in front of us, we'd just about hit that girl first rattle out uh the box.
As the Elder did not speak, he began: "I thought I'd come with you, Elder. I don't know that I'm much good, but I sympathize with you, and I'd like to help you if I could." "Yes," replied the Elder, acknowledging thereby the proffered aid. "But I guess you kain't I guess not," he repeated by way of emphasis. In silence the pair went on to the broad field of maize.
I won't charge ye nothin'. What do ye s'pose Jim Bridger'd care ef ye all was drownded in the Snake? Ain't thar plenty more pilgrims whar ye all come from? Won't they be out here next year, with money ter spend with my pardner Vasquez an' me?" "Then how could we pay you?" "Ye kain't. Whar's Miss Molly?" "You want to see her?" "Yes, else why'd I ask?"
"We kain't none of us help what's passed atween us an' the dead, but it oughter make us better to the livin'. Not thet I blame you, Sairay; some folks, even good ones, is dretful tryin' at times; but I know jest haow you feel, fur I've been thar myself." There is among these honest fisherfolk a strong feeling of communism, which shows itself in the kindliest ways.
What you-all doin'?" she demanded, eyeing Nora Wingate, who was making a sweater. "Crocheting, Julie. Knitting, perhaps you call it." "Uh-huh. My gran'ma kin beat you-all knittin'." "Yes?" smiled Nora. "You bet she kin. Why, whad you-all think? Gran'ma takes her knittin' ter bed with 'er and every now and then she throws out a sock. I'll bet a cookie you-all kain't knit like that-away."
In her eyes, nobody was quite so near perfection as he, except, perhaps, the fair woman whom he had married. "Kain't nobody in ten States hole a can'le to my Marse Sidney an' his Miss Elise," old Daphne used to say, proudly. "They sut'n'ly is the handsomest couple evah jined togethah, an' the free-handedest. In all they travels by sea or by land they nevah fo'gits ole Daphne.
"When I'm awake I kain't help seein' things." "And you're a pastoral philosopher." Bub scowled and gave him a surly glance. "What's the use firin' thet high-brow stuff at me?" he asked indignantly. "I s'pose ye think I'm a kid, jes' 'cause I don't do no fancy talkin'." "I suspect you of nothing but generosity in giving me this ride," said the stranger pleasantly. "Is that Bigbee's, over yonder?"
William Henry Arnold, but will you please step up here to my desk and write your name for these gentlemen? 'Why, sho'! boss, said he, 'you know I kain't write mah name. 'That's all, said I. "'Now, gentlemen, said I, 'exhibit number two is Mr. George Washington Sims. 'George, said I, 'you used to be our county treasurer, didn't you? He said he did.
