And if you want to come along with me I don't mind stopping to show you where the butternuts are. But of course if you're afraid " Mr. Crow stopped to cough. He buttoned his coat closer around his throat. And then he looked sideways at Frisky Squirrel. "Afraid!" Frisky exclaimed. "I'm not afraid at all." "Good!" said Mr. Crow. "Now, then, young fellow!
"Would it be any use, grandpa, for me to jump down and run and tell them you don't want them to take the butternuts? I shall have so few." "No, dear, no," said her grandfather, "they have got 'em about all by this time; the mischief's done. Didenhover meant to let 'em have 'em unknown to me, and pocket the pay himself. Get up!"
I planted the seed there for a big crop of Butternuts that'll help hurl the tyrant Lincoln from his bloody throne, and give the country back into the hands of the white man.

All about me was the ancient wood. For a week I had been wandering through it with delight. Such beeches and maples, birches and butternuts! I had not thought of any imperfection.
He never once thought of that, he was in such a hurry to taste those nuts. He just ate and ate and ate; and he was so busy cracking the nuts and picking out the meats that he never noticed that it was growing dark. At last, to his astonishment, the attic door opened. Frisky leaped behind a pile of butternuts and hid, while someone walked across the floor. Then there was a bang.
All the nicest and best chestnuts which I could find, to say nothing of the apples and butternuts, I carried to her, not without my reward either, for when invitations came to us I was included with the rest. Our family were the only invited guests, and I felt no fears this time of being hidden by the crowd.
After a while I got started, somehow; told him I was there to ask him to appoint Ephraim Prescott to the Brampton postoffice t-told him all about Ephraim from the time he was locked in the cradle never was so hard put that I could remember.
