The moralizing might be by La Bruyère or La Rochefoucauld. Take this: "Life iz short, but it iz long enuff to ruin enny man who wants tew be ruined." Or this: "When a feller gits a goin doun hill, it dus seem as tho evry thing had bin greased for the okashun." That is what writers of tragedy have been showing, ever since the Greeks!
"And it is said they even add 'Thursday, 'Friday' and 'Saturday, but never 'Sunday, the day of the mass of the Christians." "And the traveler may prize himself happy if the little Dus do not drop their false coiners' hammers and start to dance, compelling him to join in their reel until death closes upon him."
"Hena, Dena, Dina, Dus." "Good heavens!" interrupts Mr. Gower, with extravagant admiration. "What command of language! I" to miss Hescott "didn't know she was a linguist, did you?" "Calto, Wheela, Kila, Kus." "Oh, I say!" murmurs Mr. Gower faintly. "It can't be right, can it, to say 'cuss words' at us like that? Oh, really, Rylton, would you mind if I retired?"
"Massa Walter! Massa Walter! dus you let 'em beat!" "Day'se gwine ahead! Oh dear! oh dear! oh dear!" His voice was lost in another moment.

How you call dat so long, when he only be tudder day?" retorted the pertinacious negro, who began to grow crusty, and to speak in a short, spiteful way, as if displeased by hearing that to which he could not assent. "Masser Corny was little ole, p'r'aps, if he lib, but all de rest ob you nuttin' but children. Tell me one t'ing, Miss Dus, be it true dey's got a town at Satanstoe?"
