7103How''m I going to guess,says I,"when I never heard tell of it before?"
7103I do n''t know where he was,says I;"where was he?"
7103Laws, how do I know? 7103 No?"
7103Now, George Jackson, do you know the Shepherdsons?
7103Oh, you did, did you? 7103 Old man,"said the young one,"I reckon we might double- team it together; what do you think?"
7103WHICH candle?
7103Well, if you knowed where he was, what did you ask me for?
7103Well, then, what did you want to kill him for?
7103Well, who done the shooting? 7103 What are you prowling around here this time of night for-- hey?"
7103What did he do to you?
7103What do you want?
7103What got you into trouble?
7103What town is it, mister?
7103What was the trouble about, Buck?--land?
7103What''re you alassin''about?
7103What''s a feud?
7103Who''s me?
7103Why did n''t you tell my Jack to fetch me here sooner, Jim?
7103Why, blame it, it''s a riddle, do n''t you see? 7103 Why, how did you get hold of the raft again, Jim-- did you catch her?"
7103Why, where was you raised? 7103 Yes, it IS good enough for me; it''s as good as I deserve; for who fetched me so low when I was so high?
7103You mean to say our old raft warn''t smashed all to flinders?
7103All through dinner Jim stood around and waited on him, and says,"Will yo''Grace have some o''dis or some o''dat?"
7103And did the sad hearts thicken, And did the mourners cry?
7103Are you all ready?
7103Come slow; push the door open yourself-- just enough to squeeze in, d''you hear?"
7103Conscience says to me,"What had poor Miss Watson done to you that you could see her nigger go off right under your eyes and never say one single word?
7103Do n''t you know what a feud is?"
7103Do you like to comb up Sundays, and all that kind of foolishness?
7103Do you own a dog?
7103Do you reckon you can learn me?"
7103Do you want to spread it all over?"
7103Down by the wood- pile I comes across my Jack, and says:"What''s it all about?"
7103Every little while he jumps up and says:"Dah she is?"
7103George Jackson, is there anybody with you?"
7103Have you ever trod the boards, Royalty?"
7103He says:"Ai n''t they no Shepherdsons around?"
7103How does that strike you?"
7103I ben a- buyin''pots en pans en vittles, as I got a chanst, en a- patchin''up de raf''nights when--""WHAT raft, Jim?"
7103I ranged up and says:"Mister, is that town Cairo?"
7103Is dey out o''sight yit?
7103Is your man white or black?"
7103It ai n''t my fault I warn''t born a duke, it ai n''t your fault you warn''t born a king-- so what''s the use to worry?
7103One of them says:"What''s that yonder?"
7103Say, boy, what''s the matter with your father?"
7103Say, how long are you going to stay here?
7103Says he:"Do n''t you know, Mars Jawge?"
7103So I laid there about an hour trying to think, and when Buck waked up I says:"Can you spell, Buck?"
7103So the question was, what to do?
7103Soon as I could get Buck down by the corn- cribs under the trees by ourselves, I says:"Did you want to kill him, Buck?"
7103That''s the whole yarn-- what''s yourn?
7103The man sung out:"Snatch that light away, Betsy, you old fool-- ain''t you got any sense?
7103Then I thought a minute, and says to myself, hold on; s''pose you''d a done right and give Jim up, would you felt better than what you do now?
7103Then the duke says:"You are what?"
7103Thinks I, what does it mean?
7103Was it a Grangerford or a Shepherdson?"
7103We both knowed well enough it was some more work of the rattlesnake- skin; so what was the use to talk about it?
7103Whar was you brought down from?"
7103What IS the matter with your pap?
7103What did that poor old woman do to you that you could treat her so mean?
7103What did you say your name was?"
7103What do you mean?"
7103What is he up to, anyway?
7103What''s your lay?"
7103What''s your line-- mainly?"
7103When Jim called me to take the watch at four in the morning, he says:"Huck, does you reck''n we gwyne to run acrost any mo''kings on dis trip?"
7103Who''s there?"
7103Why did n''t you come out and say so?
7103Why did n''t you step into the road, my boy?"
7103is dat you, honey?
7103it wo n''t do to fool with small- pox, do n''t you see?"
7103would a runaway nigger run SOUTH?"
7103you ca n''t mean it?"
7106Ai n''t them old crippled picks and things in there good enough to dig a nigger out with?
7106But it''s SOMEBODY''S plates, ai n''t it?
7106DO with it? 7106 Did n''t I SAY I was going to help steal the nigger?"
7106Did you ever see us before?
7106For what?
7106How can he blow? 7106 How long will it take, Tom?"
7106How''d you get your breakfast so early on the boat?
7106I do n''t reckon he does; but what put that into your head?
7106Not a word?
7106SOLD him?
7106To dig the foundations out from under that cabin with?
7106Tools for what?
7106Tools?
7106WORK? 7106 Well, spos''n it is?
7106Well, then, what''ll we make him the ink out of?
7106Well, then, what''s the sense in wasting the plates?
7106Well, then,I says,"how''ll it do to saw him out, the way I done before I was murdered that time?"
7106Well, then,I says,"if we do n''t want the picks and shovels, what do we want?"
7106What PUT it dar? 7106 What did you think the vittles was for?"
7106What do we WANT of a saw? 7106 What do we want of a saw?"
7106What do we want of a shirt, Tom?
7106What in the nation can he DO with it?
7106What made you think I''d like it?
7106What''s THAT got to do with it? 7106 Whereabouts?"
7106Who do you reckon''t is?
7106Who''d you give the baggage to?
7106Why?
7106You wo n''t, wo n''t you? 7106 You''re s''rp-- Why, what do you reckon I am?
7106And I DID start to tell him; but he shut me up, and says:"Do n''t you reckon I know what I''m about?
7106And s''pose he steps in here any minute, and sings out my name before I can throw him a wink to keep quiet?
7106And turns to me, perfectly ca''m, and says,"Did YOU hear anybody sing out?"
7106And what would you want to saw his leg off for, anyway?"
7106And you would n''t leave them any?
7106But at supper, at night, one of the little boys says:"Pa, may n''t Tom and Sid and me go to the show?"
7106Didn''he jis''dis minute sing out like he knowed you?"
7106Do n''t I generly know what I''m about?"
7106Does you want to go en look at''i m?"
7106Going to feed the dogs?"
7106Hain''t he run off?"
7106Hain''t we got to saw the leg of Jim''s bed off, so as to get the chain loose?"
7106He can hide it in his bed, ca n''t he?"
7106Honest injun, you ai n''t a ghost?"
7106I hunched Tom, and whispers:"You going, right here in the daybreak?
7106I says:"What do we want of a moat when we''re going to snake him out from under the cabin?"
7106I wonder who''tis?
7106I''ve a good notion to take and-- Say, what do you mean by kissing me?"
7106It was all she could do to hold in; and her eyes snapped, and her fingers worked like she wanted to scratch him; and she says:"Who''s''everybody''?
7106Just keep a tight tongue in your head and move right along, and then you wo n''t get into trouble with US, d''ye hear?"
7106Look yonder!--up the road!--ain''t that somebody coming?"
7106Looky here, warn''t you ever murdered AT ALL?"
7106Looky here-- do you think YOU''D venture to blow on us?
7106Mrs. Phelps she jumps for him, and says:"Has he come?"
7106Now I want to ask you-- if you got any reasonableness in you at all-- what kind of a show would THAT give him to be a hero?
7106Pretty soon Tom says:"Ready?"
7106S''pose he DON''T do nothing with it?
7106Say, gimme a chaw tobacker, wo n''t ye?"
7106She was smiling all over so she could hardly stand-- and says:"It''s YOU, at last!--AIN''T it?"
7106So Tom says:"What''s the vittles for?
7106So Tom turns to the nigger, which was looking wild and distressed, and says, kind of severe:"What do you reckon''s the matter with you, anyway?
7106So she run on:"Lize, hurry up and get him a hot breakfast right away-- or did you get your breakfast on the boat?"
7106So, then, what you want to come back and ha''nt ME for?"
7106The next minute he whirls on me and says:"Do you reckon that nigger would blow on us?
7106The old gentleman stared, and says:"Why, who''s that?"
7106Then I says to myself, s''pose Tom Sawyer comes down on that boat?
7106Then he did n''t look so joyful, and says:"What was your idea for asking ME?"
7106Then he says, kind of glad and eager,"Where''s the raft?--got her in a good place?"
7106Then he turns to Jim, and looks him over like he never see him before, and says:"Did you sing out?"
7106Tom he looked at the nigger, steady and kind of wondering, and says:"Does WHO know us?"
7106WHAT did he sing out?"
7106WHEN did he sing out?
7106WHO sung out?
7106Was you looking for him?"
7106We ai n''t a- going to GNAW him out, are we?"
7106What kep''you?--boat get aground?"
7106What made you think somebody sung out?"
7106What''s the good of a plan that ai n''t no more trouble than that?
7106When we was at dinner, did n''t you see a nigger man go in there with some vittles?"
7106Where''d YOU come from?"
7106Where''d she get aground?"
7106Where''s that ten cents?
7106Where?"
7106Who IS it?"
7106Who ever heard of a state prisoner escaping by a hickry- bark ladder?
7106Who ever heard of getting a prisoner loose in such an old- maidy way as that?
7106Who nailed him?"
7106Who''s THEY?"
7106Whoever would a thought it was in that mare to do it?
7106Why ca n''t you stick to the main point?"
7106Why would n''t they?
7106Why, hain''t you ever read any books at all?--Baron Trenck, nor Casanova, nor Benvenuto Chelleeny, nor Henri IV., nor none of them heroes?
7106Will you?"
7106Would n''t that plan work?"
7106You do n''t reckon it''s going to take thirty- seven years to dig out through a DIRT foundation, do you?"
7106You''ll say it''s dirty, low- down business; but what if it is?
7106ai n''t it there in his bed, for a clew, after he''s gone?
7106ain''dat Misto Tom?"
7106and do n''t you reckon they''ll want clews?
7106anybody hurt?"
7106do he know you genlmen?"
7106she says,"what in the warld can have become of him?"
7105But I reckon we ought to tell Uncle Harvey she''s gone out a while, anyway, so he wo n''t be uneasy about her?
7105But I thought YOU lived in Sheffield?
7105But what time o''day?
7105Come, ai n''t that what you saw?
7105Do n''t mind what I said-- please don''t-- you WON''T, now, WILL you?
7105Do n''t they give''em holidays, the way we do, Christmas and New Year''s week, and Fourth of July?
7105HOW''D you come?
7105His''n? 7105 How does he get it, then?"
7105How''s it a new kind?
7105I do n''t know; leastways, I kinder forget; but I thinks it''s--"Sakes alive, I hope it ai n''t HANNER?
7105I thought he lived in London?
7105Is it KETCHING? 7105 Looky here,"I says;"did you ever see any Congress- water?"
7105None of it at all?
7105Nor church?
7105They do n''t, do n''t they? 7105 WHOSE pew?"
7105Was you in there yisterday er last night?
7105Well, did you have to go to Congress to get it?
7105Well, then, how''d you come to be up at the Pint in the MORNIN''--in a canoe?
7105Well, then, how''s he going to take the sea baths if it ai n''t on the sea?
7105Well, then, what are they FOR?
7105Well, then, what does the rest of''em do?
7105Well, what DID you say, then?
7105Well, what in the nation do they call it the MUMPS for?
7105Well, who said it was?
7105Well, why would n''t you?
7105What did you reckon I wanted you to go at all for, Miss Mary?
7105What is it you wo n''t believe, Joe?
7105What is it, duke?
7105What other things?
7105What!--to preach before a king? 7105 Where do you set?"
7105Where is it, then?
7105Which one?
7105Who? 7105 Why, what do they want with more?"
7105Why, who''s got it?
7105Why?
7105--so as to get them to let Miss Mary Jane go aboard?
7105And ai n''t that a big enough majority in any town?"
7105And do you reckon they''d be mean enough to go off and leave you to go all that journey by yourselves?
7105And leave my sisters with them?"
7105And not sell out the rest o''the property?
7105And they call it the MUMPS?"
7105And when the king got done this husky up and says:"Say, looky here; if you are Harvey Wilks, when''d you come to this town?"
7105And you ca n''t get away with that tooth without fetching the whole harrow along, can you?
7105But answer me only jest this one more-- now DON''T git mad; did n''t you have it in your mind to hook the money and hide it?"
7105Ca n''t you SEE that THEY''D go and tell?
7105Did you inquire around for HIM when you got loose?
7105Do n''t you know nothing?"
7105Do n''t you reckon I know who hid that money in that coffin?"
7105Do they treat''em better''n we treat our niggers?"
7105Do you reckon that''ll do?"
7105Hain''t we got all the fools in town on our side?
7105Hain''t your uncles obleegd to get along home to England as fast as they can?
7105How fur is it?"
7105How is servants treated in England?
7105How would you like to be treated so?"
7105How''d they act?"
7105I live up there, do n''t I?
7105I reckon he can stand a little thing like that, ca n''t he?"
7105I says to myself, shall I go to that doctor, private, and blow on these frauds?
7105If the profits has turned out to be none, lackin''considable, and none to carry, is it my fault any more''n it''s yourn?"
7105If they have, wo n''t the complices get away with that bag of gold Peter Wilks left?
7105If you do n''t hitch on to one tooth, you''re bound to on another, ai n''t you?
7105Is a HARROW catching-- in the dark?
7105Is it ketching?"
7105Is she took bad?"
7105Is there anybody here that helped to lay out my br-- helped to lay out the late Peter Wilks for burying?"
7105Long as you''re in this town do n''t you forgit THAT-- you hear?"
7105NOW what do you say-- hey?"
7105Next, she says:"Do you go to church, too?"
7105S''pose she dug him up and did n''t find nothing, what would she think of me?
7105Say, where IS that song-- that draft?"
7105Says I, kind of timid- like:"Is something gone wrong?"
7105Shall I go, private, and tell Mary Jane?
7105She says:"Did you ever see the king?"
7105She says:"Honest injun, now, hain''t you been telling me a lot of lies?"
7105So when I says he goes to our church, she says:"What-- regular?"
7105So, says I, s''pose somebody has hogged that bag on the sly?--now how do I know whether to write to Mary Jane or not?
7105The doctor he up and says:"Would you know the boy again if you was to see him, Hines?"
7105The duke bristles up now, and says:"Oh, let UP on this cussed nonsense; do you take me for a blame''fool?
7105The duke says, pretty brisk:"When it comes to that, maybe you''ll let me ask, what was YOU referring to?"
7105The duke says:"Have you seen anybody else go in there?"
7105The king kind of ruffles up, and says:"Looky here, Bilgewater, what''r you referrin''to?"
7105The king says:"Was you in my room night before last?"
7105The king says:"Why?"
7105Then I says:"Blame it, do you suppose there ai n''t but one preacher to a church?"
7105Then I says:"Miss Mary Jane, is there any place out of town a little ways where you could go and stay three or four days?"
7105Then the doctor whirls on me and says:"Are YOU English, too?"
7105Then the duke says:"What, all of them?"
7105Then the old man turns towards the king, and says:"Perhaps this gentleman can tell me what was tattooed on his breast?"
7105They sets down then, and the king says:"Well, what is it?
7105Tired of our company, hey?"
7105Very well, then; is a PREACHER going to deceive a steamboat clerk?
7105Was there any such mark on Peter Wilks''breast?"
7105Well, did he?
7105Well, we got to save HIM, hain''t we?
7105Well, what do you think?
7105What WILL he do, then?
7105What did they do?
7105What did you RECKON he wanted with it?"
7105What do we k''yer for HIM?
7105What does HE want with a pew?"
7105What was it?"
7105What''s the matter with her?"
7105When I struck Susan and the hare- lip, I says:"What''s the name of them people over on t''other side of the river that you all goes to see sometimes?"
7105When was that?"
7105Where WOULD he live?"
7105Where WOULD it be?"
7105Where did you hide it?"
7105Why?"
7105William Fourth?
7105Would YOU a done any different?
7105Would ther''be any sense in that?
7105Your uncle Harvey''s a preacher, ai n''t he?
7105and"Where, for the land''s sake, DID you get these amaz''n pickles?"
7105is he going to deceive a SHIP CLERK?
7102AIN''dat gay? 7102 And ai n''t it natural and right for a cat and a cow to talk different from US?"
7102Could n''t they see better if they was to wait till daytime?
7102Dad fetch it, how is I gwyne to dream all dat in ten minutes?
7102Does a cat talk like a cow, or a cow talk like a cat?

7102How does I talk wild?
7102I is, is I? 7102 If fifteen cows is browsing on a hillside, how many of them eats with their heads pointed the same direction?"
7102Is a cat a man, Huck?
7102It''s natural and right for''em to talk different from each other, ai n''t it?
7102Looky here, Jim; does a cat talk like we do?
7102No-- is that so?
7102No; is dat so?
7102Oh, that''s the way of it?
7102Oh, well, that''s all interpreted well enough as far as it goes, Jim,I says;"but what does THESE things stand for?"
7102Roun''de which?
7102Say, wo n''t he suspicion what we''re up to?
7102They''re-- they''re-- are you the watchman of the boat?
7102Well, den, why could n''t he SAY it?
7102Well, does a cow?
7102Well, then, a horse?
7102Well, then, what makes you talk so wild?
7102Well, then, why ai n''t it natural and right for a FRENCHMAN to talk different from us? 7102 Well, we can wait the two hours anyway and see, ca n''t we?"
7102Wh-- what, mum?
7102What fog?
7102What wreck?
7102What''s de harem?
7102What''s the matter with you, Jim? 7102 What''s your real name?
7102What, you do n''t mean the Walter Scott?
7102Where''bouts do you live? 7102 Which side of a tree does the moss grow on?"
7102Who? 7102 Why, Huck, doan''de French people talk de same way we does?"
7102Why, are they after him yet?
7102Why, pap and mam and sis and Miss Hooker; and if you''d take your ferryboat and go up there--"Up where? 7102 You hain''t seen no towhead?
7102--wouldn''t he spread himself, nor nothing?
7102Ai n''t I right?"
7102Ai n''t that so?"
7102And THEN what did you all do?"
7102And could n''t the nigger see better, too?
7102And what FOR?
7102And would n''t he throw style into it?
7102Bekase why: would a wise man want to live in de mids''er sich a blim- blammin''all de time?
7102But Bill says:"Hold on--''d you go through him?"
7102But he''ll be pooty lonesome-- dey ain''no kings here, is dey, Huck?"
7102But how you goin''to manage it this time?"
7102But now she says:"Honey, I thought you said it was Sarah when you first come in?"
7102But other times they just lazy around; or go hawking-- just hawking and sp-- Sh!--d''you hear a noise?"
7102But s''pose she DON''T break up and wash off?"
7102But when he did get the thing straightened around he looked at me steady without ever smiling, and says:"What do dey stan''for?
7102Dad blame it, why doan''he TALK like a man?
7102Did n''t you?"
7102Do n''t anybody live there?
7102Do n''t you know about the harem?
7102Do you know him?"
7102Do you reckon Tom Sawyer would ever go by this thing?
7102Does three hundred dollars lay around every day for people to pick up?

7102Has I ben a- drinkin''?
7102Has I had a chance to be a- drinkin''?"
7102Has everybody quit thinking the nigger done it?"
7102He stirred up in a kind of a startlish way; but when he see it was only me he took a good gap and stretch, and then he says:"Hello, what''s up?
7102How do dat come?"
7102How much do a king git?"
7102I says to myself, there ai n''t no telling but I might come to be a murderer myself yet, and then how would I like it?
7102I says:"Who done it?
7102I''m for killin''him-- and did n''t he kill old Hatfield jist the same way-- and do n''t he deserve it?"
7102In this neighborhood?''
7102Is I ME, or who IS I?
7102Is I heah, or whah IS I?
7102Is a Frenchman a man?"
7102Is a cow a man?--er is a cow a cat?"
7102Is it Bill, or Tom, or Bob?--or what is it?"
7102Is your husband going over there to- night?"
7102It''s only saying, do you know how to talk French?"
7102Looky here, did n''t de line pull loose en de raf''go a- hummin''down de river, en leave you en de canoe behine in de fog?"
7102Me?

7102Now if you''ll go and--""By Jackson, I''d LIKE to, and, blame it, I do n''t know but I will; but who in the dingnation''s a- going''to PAY for it?
7102Pretty soon she says""What did you say your name was, honey?"
7102RAF''?
7102S''pose a man was to come to you and say Polly- voo- franzy-- what would you think?"
7102Says I--"I broke in and says:"They''re in an awful peck of trouble, and--""WHO is?"
7102See?
7102She looked me all over with her little shiny eyes, and says:"What might your name be?"
7102So she put me up a snack, and says:"Say, when a cow''s laying down, which end of her gets up first?
7102Then she took off the hank and looked me straight in the face, and very pleasant, and says:"Come, now, what''s your real name?"
7102Warn''dat de beatenes''notion in de worl''?
7102Well, then, I said, why could n''t she tell her husband to fetch a dog?

7102Who told you this was Goshen?"
7102Why did n''t you stir me up?"
7102Why, hain''t you been talking about my coming back, and all that stuff, as if I''d been gone away?"
7102Why, how in the nation did they ever git into such a scrape?"
7102Why, what in the nation do you mean?

32325Ai n''t them old crippled picks and things in there good enough to dig a nigger out with?
32325And ai n''t it natural and right for a cat and a cow to talk different from_ us_?
32325And ai n''t you had nothing but that kind of rubbage to eat?
32325And so you ai n''t had no meat nor bread to eat all this time? 32325 And_ Jim?_""The same,"I says, but could n''t say it pretty brash.
32325Any men on it?
32325Bilgewater, kin I trust you?
32325Blame it, ca n''t you_ try?_ I only_ want_ you to try-- you need n''t keep it up if it do n''t work.
32325Brought you down from whar? 32325 But I reckon we ought to tell Uncle Harvey she''s gone out awhile, anyway, so he wo n''t be uneasy about her?"
32325But I thought_ you_ lived in Sheffield?
32325But how can we do it if we do n''t know what it is?
32325But it''s_ somebody''s_ plates, ai n''t it?
32325But looky here, Tom, what do we want to_ warn_ anybody for that something''s up? 32325 But my lan'', Mars Sid, how''s I gwyne to make''m a witch pie?

32325How''s it a new kind?
32325I do n''t know where he was,says I;"where was he?"
32325I do n''t reckon he does; but what put that into your head?
32325I is, is I? 32325 I thought he lived in London?"
32325If fifteen cows is browsing on a hillside, how many of them eats with their heads pointed the same direction?
32325Is a cat a man, Huck?
32325Is dat so?
32325Is it_ ketching?_ Why, how you talk. 32325 Is that what you live on?"
32325It''s natural and right for''em to talk different from each other, ai n''t it?
32325Keep what, Mars Tom?
32325Laws, how do I know? 32325 Looky here, Jim; does a cat talk like we do?"
32325Looky here,I says;"did you ever see any Congress- water?"
32325Must we always kill the people?
32325No, sir,I says;"is there some for me?"
32325No-- is that so?
32325No; is dat so?
32325No?
32325None of it at all?
32325Nor church?
32325Not a word?
32325Now, George Jackson, do you know the Shepherdsons?
32325Now,says Ben Rogers,"what''s the line of business of this Gang?"
32325Oh, that''s the way of it?
32325Oh, well, that''s all interpreted well enough as far as it goes, Jim,I says;"but what does_ these_ things stand for?"
32325Oh, you did, did you? 32325 Oh,_ do_ shet up!--s''pose the rats took the_ sheet?__ Where''s_ it gone, Lize?"
32325Oh,_ do_ shet up!--s''pose the rats took the_ sheet?__ Where''s_ it gone, Lize?
32325Old man,said the young one,"I reckon we might double- team it together; what do you think?"
32325Ransomed? 32325 Roun''de which?"
32325Say, wo n''t he suspicion what we''re up to?
32325The widow, hey?--and who told the widow she could put in her shovel about a thing that ai n''t none of her business?
32325Then what on earth did_ you_ want to set him free for, seeing he was already free?
32325They do n''t, do n''t they? 32325 They''re-- they''re-- are you the watchman of the boat?"
32325To dig the foundations out from under that cabin with?
32325Tools for what?
32325Tools?
32325Was Peter Wilks well off?

32325Well, anyway,I says,"what''s_ some_ of it?
32325Well, are you rich?

32325Well,I says,"s''pose we got some genies to help_ us_--can''t we lick the other crowd then?"
32325Well--_what?_he says, kind of pettish.
32325Wh- hat, mum?

32325Where is it, then?
32325Where''bouts do you live? 32325 Where''s Jim?"
32325Whereabouts?

32325Which side of a tree does the moss grow on?
32325Who do you reckon''tis?
32325Who is your folks?
32325Who makes them tear around so?
32325Who''d you give the baggage to?
32325Who''s me?
32325Who? 32325 Who?
32325Why did n''t you roust me out?
32325Why did n''t you tell my Jack to fetch me here sooner, Jim?
32325Why do n''t it, Huck?
32325Why do you reckon Harvey do n''t come? 32325 Why, Huck, doan''de French people talk de same way we does?"
32325Why, Jim?
32325Why, are they after him yet?
32325Why, blame it, it''s a riddle, do n''t you see? 32325 Why, how did you get hold of the raft again, Jim-- did you catch her?"
32325Why, how long you been on the island, Jim?
32325Why, pap and mam and sis and Miss Hooker; and if you''d take your ferryboat and go up there--"Up where? 32325 Why, what do they want with more?"
32325Why, what else is gone, Sally?
32325Why, where ever did you go?
32325Why, where was you raised? 32325 Why, who''s got it?"
32325Why?
32325Why?
32325Will you do it, honey?--will you? 32325 With_ who?_ Why, the runaway nigger, of course.
32325Yes, it_ is_ good enough for me; it''s as good as I deserve; for who fetched me so low when I was so high? 32325 Yes,_ dey_ will, I reck''n, Mars Tom, but what kine er time is_ Jim_ havin''?
32325You do n''t_ know?_ Do n''t answer me that way. 32325 You hain''t seen no towhead?
32325You mean to say our old raft warn''t smashed all to flinders?
32325You numskull, did n''t you see me_ count_''m?
32325You wo n''t, wo n''t you? 32325 You would n''t look like a servant- girl_ then_, would you?"
32325You''re s''rp-- Why, what do you reckon_ I_ am? 32325 _ Ain''_ dat gay?
32325_ Do_ with it? 32325 _ Hannel_''m, Mars Sid?
32325_ Him?_says Aunt Sally;"the runaway nigger?
32325_ Him?_says Aunt Sally;"the runaway nigger?
32325_ How?_ Why, hain''t you been talking about my coming back, and all that stuff, as if I''d been gone away?
32325_ How?_ Why, hain''t you been talking about my coming back, and all that stuff, as if I''d been gone away?
32325_ Sold_ him?
32325_ Which_ candle?
32325_ Whose_ pew?
32325_ Work?_ Why, cert''nly it would work, like rats a- fighting. 32325 _ You_ talk like an Englishman,_ do n''t_ you?
32325Ai n''t I right?"
32325Ai n''t that sensible?"
32325Ai n''t that so?"
32325All through dinner Jim stood around and waited on him, and says,"Will yo''Grace have some o''dis or some o''dat?"
32325And I_ did_ start to tell him; but he shut me up, and says:"Do n''t you reckon I know what I''m about?
32325And after a minute, he says:"How''d you say he got shot?"
32325And ai n''t that a big enough majority in any town?"
32325And by and by the old man says:"Did I give you the letter?"
32325And could n''t the nigger see better, too?
32325And did the sad hearts thicken, And did the mourners cry?
32325And do you reckon they''d be mean enough to go off and leave you to go all that journey by yourselves?
32325And leave my sisters with them?"
32325And looky here-- you drop that school, you hear?
32325And not sell out the rest o''the property?
32325And s''pose he steps in here any minute, and sings out my name before I can throw him a wink to keep quiet?
32325And they call it the_ mumps?_""That''s what Miss Mary Jane said."
32325And turns to me, perfectly ca''m, and says,"Did_ you_ hear anybody sing out?"
32325And what do you reckon they said?
32325And what do you think?
32325And what kind o''uncles would it be that''d rob-- yes,_ Rob_--sech poor sweet lambs as these''at he loved so at sech a time?
32325And what would you want to saw his leg off for, anyway?"
32325And what_ for_?
32325And when the king got done this husky up and says:"Say, looky here; if you are Harvey Wilks, when''d you come to this town?"
32325And would n''t he throw style into it?--wouldn''t he spread himself, nor nothing?
32325And you ca n''t get away with that tooth without fetching the whole harrow along, can you?
32325And you wo n''t go?
32325And you would n''t leave them any?
32325And, besides, he said them little birds had said it was going to rain, and did I want the things to get wet?
32325And_ then_ what did you all do?"
32325Are you all ready?
32325Ask him to show up?
32325Bekase why: would a wise man want to live in de mids''er sich a blim- blammin''all de time?
32325Buck?--land?"
32325But Bill says:"Hold on--''d you go through him?"
32325But Tom thought of something, and says:"You got any spiders in here, Jim?"
32325But answer me only jest this one more-- now_ do n''t_ git mad; did n''t you have it in your mind to hook the money and hide it?"
32325But at supper, at night, one of the little boys says:"Pa, may n''t Tom and Sid and me go to the show?"
32325But he''ll be pooty lonesome-- dey ain''no kings here, is dey, Huck?"
32325But how you goin''to manage it this time?"
32325But now she says:"Honey, I thought you said it was Sarah when you first come in?"
32325But other times they just lazy around; or go hawking-- just hawking and sp-- Sh!--d''you hear a noise?"
32325But s''pose she_ do n''t_ break up and wash off?"
32325But when he did get the thing straightened around he looked at me steady without ever smiling, and says:"What do dey stan''for?
32325But you got a gun, hain''t you?
32325But you wouldn''tell on me ef I''uz to tell you, would you, Huck?"
32325By and by Jim says:"But looky here, Huck, who wuz it dat''uz killed in dat shanty ef it warn''t you?"
32325By and by, when they was asleep and snoring, Jim says:"Do n''t it s''prise you de way dem kings carries on, Huck?"
32325Ca n''t you think of no way?"
32325Ca n''t you_ see_ that_ they''d_ go and tell?
32325Come slow; push the door open yourself-- just enough to squeeze in, d''you hear?"
32325Conscience says to me,"What had poor Miss Watson done to you that you could see her nigger go off right under your eyes and never say one single word?
32325Could you raise a flower here, do you reckon?"
32325Dad blame it, why doan''he_ talk_ like a man?
32325Did n''t you?"
32325Did you come for your interest?"
32325Did you hear''em shooting the cannon?"
32325Did you inquire around for_ him_ when you got loose?
32325Did you speculate any more?"
32325Did you tell Aunty?"
32325Didn''he jis''dis minute sing out like he knowed you?"
32325Do n''t I generly know what I''m about?"
32325Do n''t I tell you it''s in the books?
32325Do n''t anybody live there?
32325Do n''t you know about the harem?
32325Do n''t you know nothing?"
32325Do n''t you know what a feud is?"
32325Do n''t you reckon I know who hid that money in that coffin?"
32325Do n''t you reckon that the people that made the books knows what''s the correct thing to do?
32325Do n''t you see I has?"
32325Do they treat''em better''n we treat our niggers?"
32325Do you know him?"
32325Do you like to comb up Sundays, and all that kind of foolishness?
32325Do you own a dog?
32325Do you reckon Tom Sawyer would ever go by this thing?
32325Do you reckon that''ll do?"
32325Do you reckon you can learn me?"
32325Do you reckon_ you_ can learn''em anything?
32325Do you want to go to doing different from what''s in the books, and get things all muddled up?"
32325Do you want to spread it all over?"
32325Does three hundred dollars lay around every day for people to pick up?
32325Does you know''bout dat chile dat he''uz gwyne to chop in two?"
32325Does you want to go en look at''i m?"
32325Down by the woodpile I comes across my Jack, and says:"What''s it all about?"
32325En did n''t I bust up agin a lot er dem islands en have a turrible time en mos''git drownded?
32325En what dey got to do, Huck?"
32325En what use is a half a chile?
32325En you ain''dead-- you ain''drownded-- you''s back ag''in?
32325Every little while he jumps up and says:"Dah she is?"
32325Everybody says,"Why,_ doctor!_"and Abner Shackleford says:"Why, Robinson, hain''t you heard the news?
32325George Jackson, is there anybody with you?"
32325Going to feed the dogs?"
32325Hain''t he run off?"
32325Hain''t we got to saw the leg of Jim''s bed off, so as to get the chain loose?"
32325Hain''t you got no principle at all?"
32325Hain''t your uncles obleeged to get along home to England as fast as they can?
32325Has I ben a- drinkin''?
32325Has I had a chance to be a- drinkin''?"
32325Has everybody quit thinking the nigger done it?"
32325Has n''t he got away?"
32325Have you ever trod the boards, Royalty?"
32325He can hide it in his bed, ca n''t he?
32325He looked astonished, and says:"Hel-_lo!_ Where''d_ you_ come from?"
32325He says:"Ai n''t they no Shepherdsons around?"
32325He says:"If gentlemen kin afford to pay a dollar a mile apiece to be took on and put off in a yawl, a steamboat kin afford to carry''em, ca n''t it?"
32325He says:"What you doin''with this gun?"
32325He says:"Why, what can you mean, my boy?"
32325He says:"Why,_ Tom!_ Where you been all this time, you rascal?"
32325He see me, and rode up and says:"Whar''d you come f''m, boy?
32325He set there a- mumbling and a- growling a minute, and then he says:"_ Ai n''t_ you a sweet- scented dandy, though?
32325He stirred up in a kind of a startlish way; but when he see it was only me he took a good gap and stretch, and then he says:"Hello, what''s up?
32325He took up a little blue and yaller picture of some cows and a boy, and says:"What''s this?"
32325He''d_ let_ me shove his head in my mouf-- fer a favor, hain''t it?
32325Hey?--how''s that?"
32325His eyes just blazed; and he says:"No!--is that so?
32325Honest injun, you ai n''t a ghost?"
32325How can they get loose when there''s a guard over them, ready to shoot them down if they move a peg?"
32325How could a body do it in de night?
32325How do dat come?"
32325How do_ they_ get them?"
32325How does he go at it-- give notice?--give the country a show?
32325How does that strike you?"
32325How fur is it?"
32325How is servants treated in England?
32325How long you ben on de islan''?"
32325How much do a king git?"
32325How old is the others?"
32325How would you like to be treated so?"
32325How''d it get there?"
32325How''d they act?"
32325I ai n''t the man to stand it-- you hear?
32325I ben a- buyin''pots en pans en vittles, as I got a chanst, en a- patchin''up de raf''nights when--""_ What_ raft, Jim?"
32325I hunched Tom, and whispers:"You going, right here in the daybreak?
32325I live up there, do n''t I?
32325I ranged up and says:"Mister, is that town Cairo?"
32325I reckon he can stand a little thing like that, ca n''t he?"
32325I said, why could n''t we see them, then?
32325I says to myself, if a body can get anything they pray for, why do n''t Deacon Winn get back the money he lost on pork?
32325I says to myself, shall I go to that doctor, private, and blow on these frauds?
32325I says to myself, spos''n he ca n''t fix that leg just in three shakes of a sheep''s tail, as the saying is?
32325I says to myself, there ai n''t no telling but I might come to be a murderer myself yet, and then how would I like it?
32325I says:"What do we want of a moat when we''re going to snake him out from under the cabin?"
32325I says:"Who done it?
32325I says:"Why, Jim?"
32325I was going to say yes; but she chipped in and says:"About what, Sid?"
32325I wonder who''tis?
32325I''m for killin''him-- and did n''t he kill old Hatfield jist the same way-- and do n''t he deserve it?"
32325I''ve a good notion to take and-- Say, what do you mean by kissing me?"
32325If the profits has turned out to be none, lackin''considable, and none to carry, is it my fault any more''n it''s yourn?"
32325If they have, wo n''t the complices get away with that bag of gold Peter Wilks left?
32325If you do n''t hitch on to one tooth, you''re bound to on another, ai n''t you?
32325In this neighborhood?"
32325Is I heah, or whah_ is_ I?
32325Is I_ me_, or who_ is_ I?
32325Is Mary Jane the oldest?
32325Is a Frenchman a man?"
32325Is a cow a man?--er is a cow a cat?"
32325Is a_ harrow_ catching-- in the dark?
32325Is dat like Mars Tom Sawyer?
32325Is dey out o''sight yit?
32325Is it Bill, or Tom, or Bob?--or what is it?"
32325Is it ketching?"
32325Is she took bad?"
32325Is something the matter?"
32325Is that_ all_?"
32325Is there anybody here that helped to lay out my br-- helped to lay out the late Peter Wilks for burying?"
32325Is your husband going over there to- night?"
32325Is your man white or black?"
32325It ai n''t my fault I warn''t born a duke, it ai n''t your fault you warn''t born a king-- so what''s the use to worry?
32325It make me mad; en I says ag''in, mighty loud, I says:"''Doan''you hear me?
32325It was all she could do to hold in; and her eyes snapped, and her fingers worked like she wanted to scratch him; and she says:"Who''s''everybody''?
32325It''s only saying, do you know how to talk French?"
32325Just keep a tight tongue in your head and move right along, and then you wo n''t get into trouble with_ us_, d''ye hear?"
32325Kill the women?
32325Long as you''re in this town do n''t you forgit_ that_--you hear?"
32325Look yonder!--up the road!--ain''t that somebody coming?"
32325Looky here, did n''t de line pull loose en de raf''go a- hummin''down de river, en leave you en de canoe behine in de fog?"
32325Looky here, warn''t you ever murdered_ at all?_""No.
32325Looky here-- do you think_ you''d_ venture to blow on us?
32325Me?
32325Mrs. Phelps she jumps for him, and says:"Has he come?"
32325Next time you roust me out, you hear?"
32325Next, she says:"Do you go to church, too?"
32325Now I want to ask you-- if you got any reasonableness in you at all-- what kind of a show would_ that_ give him to be a hero?
32325Now ain''dat so, boss-- ain''t it so?
32325Now if you''ll go and--""By Jackson, I''d_ like_ to, and, blame it, I do n''t know but I will; but who in the dingnation''s a- going to_ pay_ for it?
32325Now, what do you reckon it is?"
32325Now,_ would n''t_ he?
32325One of them says:"What''s that yonder?"
32325Pretty soon Jim says:"Say, who is you?
32325Pretty soon Tom says:"Ready?"
32325Pretty soon she says:"What did you say your name was, honey?"
32325S''e, what do_ you_ think of it, Sister Hotchkiss?
32325S''pose a man was to come to you and say Polly- voo- franzy-- what would you think?"
32325S''pose he contracted to do a thing, and you paid him, and did n''t set down there and see that he done it-- what did he do?
32325S''pose he opened his mouth-- what then?
32325S''pose he_ do n''t_ do nothing with it?
32325S''pose people left money laying around where he was-- what did he do?
32325S''pose she dug him up and did n''t find nothing, what would she think of me?
32325Say, boy, what''s the matter with your father?"
32325Say, do we kill the women, too?"
32325Say, gimme a chaw tobacker, wo n''t ye?"
32325Say, how long are you going to stay here?
32325Say, how much you got in your pocket?
32325Say, where_ is_ that song-- that draft?"
32325Says I, kind of timid- like:"Is something gone wrong?"
32325Says I--"I broke in and says:"They''re in an awful peck of trouble, and--""_ Who_ is?"
32325Says he:"Do n''t you know, Mars Jawge?"
32325Says the king:"Dern him, I wonder what he done with that four hundred and fifteen dollars?"
32325See?
32325Shall I go, private, and tell Mary Jane?
32325She looked me all over with her little shiny eyes, and says:"What might your name be?"
32325She says:"Did you ever see the king?"
32325She says:"Honest injun, now, hain''t you been telling me a lot of lies?"
32325She was smiling all over so she could hardly stand-- and says:"It''s_ you_, at last!--_ain''t_ it?"
32325Snake take''n bite Jim''s chin off, den_ whah_ is de glory?
32325So I laid there about an hour trying to think, and when Buck waked up I says:"Can you spell, Buck?"
32325So Tom says:"What''s the vittles for?
32325So Tom turns to the nigger, which was looking wild and distressed, and says, kind of severe:"What do you reckon''s the matter with you, anyway?
32325So she put me up a snack, and says:"Say, when a cow''s laying down, which end of her gets up first?
32325So she run on:"Lize, hurry up and get him a hot breakfast right away-- or did you get your breakfast on the boat?"
32325So the question was, what to do?
32325So when I says he goes to our church, she says:"What-- regular?"
32325So, says I, s''pose somebody has hogged that bag on the sly?--now how do_ I_ know whether to write to Mary Jane or not?
32325So, then, what you want to come back and ha''nt_ me_ for?"
32325Soon as I could get Buck down by the corn- cribs under the trees by ourselves, I says:"Did you want to kill him, Buck?"
32325That''s the whole yarn-- what''s yourn?"
32325The doctor he up and says:"Would you know the boy again if you was to see him, Hines?"
32325The duke bristles up now, and says:"Oh, let_ up_ on this cussed nonsense; do you take me for a blame''fool?
32325The duke says, pretty brisk:"When it comes to that, maybe you''ll let me ask what was_ you_ referring to?"
32325The duke says:"Have you seen anybody else go in there?"
32325The king he smiled eager, and shoved out his flapper, and says:"_ Is_ it my poor brother''s dear good friend and physician?
32325The king kind of ruffles up, and says:"Looky here, Bilgewater, what''r you referrin''to?"
32325The king says:"Was you in my room night before last?"
32325The king says:"Why?"
32325The man sung out:"Snatch that light away, Betsy, you old fool-- ain''t you got any sense?
32325The next minute he whirls on me and says:"Do you reckon that nigger would blow on us?
32325The old gentleman stared, and says:"Why, who''s that?"
32325Then Ben Rogers says:"Here''s Huck Finn, he hain''t got no family; what you going to do''bout him?"
32325Then I says to myself, s''pose Tom Sawyer comes down on that boat?
32325Then I says:"Blame it, do you suppose there ai n''t but one preacher to a church?"
32325Then I says:"How do you come to be here, Jim, and how''d you get here?"
32325Then I says:"Miss Mary Jane, is there any place out of town a little ways where you could go and stay three or four days?"
32325Then I thought a minute, and says to myself, hold on; s''pose you''d''a''done right and give Jim up, would you felt better than what you do now?
32325Then he did n''t look so joyful, and says:"What was your idea for asking_ me?_"he says.
32325Then he says, kind of glad and eager,"Where''s the raft?--got her in a good place?"
32325Then he says:"How are you on the deef and dumb, Bilgewater?"
32325Then he says:"What did you want to walk all the way up to the steamboat for?"
32325Then he says:"Who dah?"
32325Then he studied it over and said, could n''t I put on some of them old things and dress up like a girl?
32325Then he turns to Jim, and looks him over like he never see him before, and says:"Did you sing out?"
32325Then she took off the hank and looked me straight in the face, and very pleasant, and says:"Come, now, what''s your real name?"
32325Then the doctor whirls on me and says:"Are_ you_ English, too?"
32325Then the duke says:"What,_ all_ of them?"
32325Then the duke says:"You are what?"
32325Then the old man turns toward the king, and says:"Peraps this gentleman can tell me what was tattooed on his breast?"
32325They sets down then, and the king says:"Well, what is it?
32325Think o''that bed- leg sawed off that a way?
32325Think o''what, Brer Phelps?
32325Thinks I, what does it mean?
32325Thinks I, what is the country a- coming to?
32325Tired of our company, hey?"
32325Tom he looked at the nigger, steady and kind of wondering, and says:"Does_ who_ know us?"
32325Tom looks at me very grave, and says:"Tom, did n''t you just tell me he was all right?
32325Twenty people sings out:"What, is it over?
32325Very well, then; is a_ preacher_ going to deceive a steamboat clerk?
32325W''y, what has you lived on?
32325Want to keep it off?"
32325Warn''dat de beatenes''notion in de worl''?
32325Was Solomon Wise?
32325Was it a Grangerford Shepherdson?"
32325Was there any such mark on Peter Wilks''s breast?"
32325Was you looking for him?"
32325We ai n''t a- going to_ gnaw_ him out, are we?"
32325We both knowed well enough it was some more work of the rattlesnake- skin; so what was the use to talk about it?
