I'd called Fatty's attention to it when we fust started, but he said he didn't care a red for fog. Well, I didn't much care nuther, for we had a compass aboard and the engine was runnin' fine. What wind there was was blowin' offshore. "And then, all to once, the engine STOPPED runnin'. I give the wheel a whirl, but she only coughed, consumptive-like, and quit again.
"The reason why, is," said Daddy, deliberately, "there ain't no bottle in this ere sleigh 'tween you and me, this ere hoss of yourn is gettin mighty oneasy, I'm obleeged fur tu stand at his head every minute." "Hitch him somewhere, Daddy, and throw the buffalo over him the bottle is under the buffalo, you'll find it and bring it." "No I won't bring it nuther," muttered Daddy to himself."
"'Nuther do I condemn thee, said Jesus Christ," whispered Andy over the boy's face, and "neither do I condemn thee" sank into the very being of the squatter girl as warm rain sinks to the heart of a parched flower. She followed the waddling figure, a gleam of gratitude beaming in her eyes.

Now he be all snug in the bresh, an' the revenuers none the wiser." "An' Con none the wiser, nuther," she flouted. "The raiders hev smoked out 'sperienced old mountain foxes a heap slyer'n Con be.
I heard somebody say that he lived in the city here, but he never came out to see us. Oh, yes, I remember him. He was a stupid little thing, but that didn't keep him from being mean. He oughtn't to have been taken in here, for he had a father." "Did you know his father?" "Who? John DeGolyer? I reckon I did, and he wa'n't no manner account, nuther.
"We'll have to go back," said Abe Blower, in a low voice, after a pause, in which the three of the party had gazed around at the walls of the cavern and at each other. "An' we don't want to lose no time nuther," added the old miner. "No, for the others will be wondering what has become of us," put in Roger.
