Where'll you have your fire built? in doors or out?" "Out I would rather, if we can. But can we?" "La, 'tain't nothin' easier it's as easy out as in all you've got to do is to take and roll a couple of pretty sized billets for your fireplace and stick a couple o' crotched sticks for to hang the kittle over I'd as lieve have it out as in, and if anythin' a leetle liever.
Again the householder paused and after that he decided to throw aside futile pretence. "Come on back in hyar, men," he gave curt order. "Thar hain't no need of our askin' no man's lieve ter meet an' talk nohow."
"My father's got plenty of money," said Frank Nelson, complacently. "There isn't any need of my working." "Then your father's lucky." "And so am I." "I don't know about that. I'd just as lieve work as not." "Well, I wouldn't. I'd rather be my own master, and have my time to myself. But I must be going home." "You're lazy, Frank." "Very likely. I've a right to be."
"Then you'll come with me I see it; and I'll have everything in readiness. Thursday, does your school-work end? then we will go Saturday. You will want one day perhaps, besides, they say Friday is unlucky. I never go a journey on Friday." "I would as lieve go Friday as any day," I said.

But Kitty said: "I'm sorry you have rheumatism, Carter; I'll ask Mother to give you something for it." "Now that's kind and thoughtful of you, Miss Kitty. Miss Mischief, here, would never think of that!"
"Never saw them till the dog pinned them." "You never saw them," said George reproachfully. "No, nor your dog either till my Carlo opened your eyes. A pretty thing for a shepherd and his dog to be taught by a pointer. Well," said George, "you had eyes enough to see whose sheep they were. Tell me that, if you please?" Abner looked down. "Why, Abner?" "I'd as lieve bite off my tongue as tell you.
"And mine, dame?" said Denys; "dost see no knavery here?" She eyed him calmly. "Not such a good one as the lad's; nor ever will be. But it is the face of a true man. For all that," added she drily, "an I were ten years younger, I'd as lieve not meet that face on a dark night too far from home." Gerard stared. Denys laughed.
At length we agreed upon this expedient, that when a customer comes for one of these, and desires in confidence to know the author, he will tell him very privately as a friend, naming whichever of the wits shall happen to be that week in the vogue, and if Durfey's last play should be in course, I had as lieve he may be the person as Congreve.
"I don't know but Lucas would as lieve go as not," the old gentleman remarked on coming back from this sharpening process, "and I can make out to spare him, I guess. You calculate to keep him, I s'pose?" "Until this press is over; and perhaps longer, if I find he can do what I want." "You'll find him pretty handy at a'most anything, but I mean I s'pose he'll get his victuals with you?"
