The girl whom "Billy" was waiting to meet! Rex was getting tired and hungry. Strong smiled a gentle, obstinate, tipsy smile and shook his head. "No, Recky, dear ol' fren' bes' fren' well, nev' min'. Can't tell girl's name; tha's her secret." "Don't be an ass, Billy quick, now, tell me the name." "Naughty, naughty!" quoted Billy again, and waggled his forefinger. "Danger hell fire!
He heard every word, and pretty soon he came down off the porch and stood a minute; then he went on out the gate, and I don't know whether he went home or not, because it was too dark to see. But he didn't come back." "Yo' right he didn'!" exclaimed Mrs. Silver. "I reckon he got fo'thought 'nough fer that, anyhow! I bet he ain't nev' goin' come back neither.
But one time you were willing enough to tell me your troubles, and " "And I'll nev' do it nare 'nother time; never, never. And let me tell you somethin' else, Tom-Jeff Gordon: if you know what's good for you, don't you nev' come anigh me again. One time we usen to be a boy and a girl together; you're nothin' but a boy yet, but I oh, God, Tom-Jeff I'm a woman!"
An' then I never seen any person's face look so sad. But she begun tellin' me right off w'at a fine place the kid was at, an' how the theayter wasn't no place for a chile. An' she says, 'Bert, I wan' him to stay w'ere he's happy an' safe, she says. 'Even if I nev' see him again, she says. Well, it give me the shivers then. Psychic, I guess." Bert paused, staring into space. "And then?"
Wild uncontrollable resentment seized him and in its wave tossed him against the door of his prison battering at the panels with bare fists and shrieking aloud in a voice he could not recognise as his own. "Gentlemen! Gentlemen! You've made a mistake. I'm not Bar'clough, nev' met him.
"Oh don't be such an idiot, Louis. You'd better go to bed. I'm tired of you," she said, going past him into the bedroom. "Ta' my boots off," he grunted, trying to reach his feet and overbalancing. "If you can't make yourself 'tractive to a man, you can be useful. Nice damned freak you are f'r any man t' come home to! Nev' trouble to dress please me like Vi'let."
"'Deed it were!" said Mrs. Silver. "An' dess whut he claim hisse'f he mean it fer! But you tell me, please, how you hear whut you' grampaw say? He mighty noisy, but you nev' could a-hear him plumb to whur you live." "I wasn't home," said Florence. "I was over here." "Then you mus' 'a' made you'se'f mighty skimpish, 'cause I ain't seen you!" "Nobody saw me.
"Now you listen me!" said Kitty Silver. "I ain't see no dog eat orange in all my days, an' I ain't see nobody else whut see dog eat orange! No, ma'am, an' I ain't nev' hear o' nobody else whut ev' see nobody whut see dog eat orange!" Herbert decided to be less impressed. "Oh, I've heard of dogs that'd eat apples," he said.

Makes me think Nev' forget one time I was up in Boston and I met a coon porter and he told me he was a friend of the president of the Pullman Company and had persuaded him to put on steel cars. Bet a hat he believed it himself. That's 'bout like this fellow. He's going to get the razoo.... Gee! I hope you ain't a friend of his."
"I should think it would be very pleasant after all the storms and the tossings. And yet the sea the sea, the glorious sea has always had a great fascination for me even though I've never seen it." "Nev nev never seen salt water!" This amazedly. "Never." This sadly. "I've been kept I've stayed very closely at my home. Being a single lady, I've had no one to talk to me or take me about.
