She filled, and we had to take to the boats." "Stop a moment. Was there any suspicion excited?" "Not among the crew.

The women both started, with expressions of surprise, alarm, and tender affection, raised by my ghostly looks, and begged me to get back into bed again. I stood fast, bearing on Theresa's shoulder. "What was it?" I asked. " 'Twarn't nothin', Miss Daisy, dear!" said the girl. "Hush! Don't tell me that," I said.
"'Twarn't a cow, please, sir," replied Dan, timidly. "'Twere a ghost." "Whose ghost?" returned Lionel. Dan hesitated. He stood first on one leg, then on the other. "Please, sir, 'twarn't Rachel's," said he, presently. "Whose then?" repeated Lionel. "Please, sir, mother said I warn't to tell you. Roy, he said, if I told it to anybody, I should be took and hanged."
'Well, says she, 'Huldy Peters is well enough at her trade. I never denied that, though I do say I never did believe in her way o' makin' button-holes; and I must say, if 'twas the dearest friend I hed, that I thought Huldy tryin' to fit Mis' Kit-tridge's plumb-colored silk was a clear piece o' presumption; the silk was jist spiled, so 'twarn't fit to come into the meetin'-house.
'Twarn't no train," objected Aunt Alvirah. "Trains warn't heard of then. Why, I can remember when the first railroad went through this part of the country and it cut right through Silas Bassett's farm.

I threshed for Varmer Blaize Blaize o' Beltharpe afore I goes to Varmer Bollop. Varmer Blaize misses pilkins. He swears our chaps steals pilkins. 'Twarn't me steals 'em. What do he tak' and go and do? He takes and tarns us off, me and another, neck and crop, to scuffle about and starve, for all he keers. God warn't above the devil then, I thinks. Not nohow, as I can see!"

Arter I got to the lot, I found the wood, and went ter work to get it piled. 'Twarn't much of a job, and I got it done afore noon and then sot down on a log and waited for the old man ter come.
Red-Eye himself and Ray Clancy, the pianner-player, and two o' the girls was lost. I got a busted arm and most o' my hair singed off going in after 'em, but 'twarn't no use." "You knew the the girls?" Willa had difficulty in controlling her voice. "Sure I did! Blonde Annie and Miss Violet. Annie was just a a girl like you'd expect, Ma'am, but Miss Violet, she was a regular lady.
Jimmy coloured with satisfaction at this high praise, and his delight was complete when Theodore added, "That so? Well now, Jimmy boy, I ain't goin' to forget this." "Huh! Twarn't nothin'.

'Twarn't that she thought I was too little. It was jest that there wasn't no tacks. I tol' her jest call me in any time to do anythin' she want done, an' she said she would." "She'll do it," said T. Tembarom.
