"Wal, Miss Majesty, we've gone an' made a foozle right at the start," he said, dejectedly. "A foozle? But the game has not yet begun," replied Madeline. "A bad start, I mean. It's amazin' bad, an' we're licked already." "What in the world is wrong?" She wanted to laugh, but Stillwell's distress restrained her. "Wal, it's this way. That darn Monty is as cute an' slick as a fox.
We knew it wouldn't do to go along the streets or in the halls and corridors of the World's Fair, a-singin' as loud as we could "Joy to the World!" Or, "What amazin' bliss is this!" or anything else of that kind no, we wuz too well-bread to attempt it; but inside of us we jest sung for joy, the hull set and caboodle of us.
Our folks are like a rock maple tree: stick 'em in anywhere, but eend up and top down, and they will take root and grow; but put 'em in a real good soil like this, and give 'em a fair chance, and they will go ahead and thrive right off, most amazin' fast, that's a fact. Yes, if we had it, we would make another guess place of it from what it is.
But back home when we called a feller 'clever' it meant he hadn't much sense. I've seen that sort, 'clever' souls 't scurcely knew enough to come in out the rain.

This time when he entered he wore a look that bordered upon the hysterical; it was difficult to tell whether he was trying to suppress grief or glee. "Miss Majesty, there's another amazin' strange thing sprung on me. Hyars Jim Bell come to see you, an', when I taxed him, sayin' you was tolerable busy, he up an' says he was hungry an' he ain't a-goin' to eat any more bread made in a wash-basin!
'An' how do you like it, my son, as far as you've gone? Not much, eh? It must be hard very hard on a wild animal. Listen now. I've an amazin' epistle from your friend. 'Where is he? Is he well? Oah! If he knows to write me letters, it is all right. 'You're fond of him then? 'Of course I am fond of him. He was fond of me. 'It seems so by the look of this. He can't write English, can he?
Well, I studied it over a long time, but I could'nt make it out: so says I, Father, how came that are bank to break? Warn't it well built? I thought that are Quincy granite was so amazin strong all natur would'nt break it. Why you foolish critter, says he, it tante the buildin that's broke, its the consarn that's smashed.
"We sure trimmed them beautiful. It was real slick. And the beauty of the play never dawned on me till the very end. It was pure and simple knock down and drag out. And the way they fell for it was amazin'." The geniality in his lazy Western drawl reassured them. He was not so formidable, after all.

"What shall you do with this poor fellow?" said George. "O, carry him along to Amariah's. There's old Grandmam Stephens there, Dorcas, they call her, she's most an amazin' nurse.
"Hm! boys an' men, ye 're all alike, all for looks," said the cook, who was a lean and ill-favored spinster, at least fifty years old. "The gal isn't any thin' so amazin' for good looks, 's I can see; but she's got mighty sarchin' eyes in her head. I wonder if she's a lookin' for somebody they're expectin'." "Steve White he was with 'em down to the depot," replied the stable-boy.
