"And when did you come?"，"Why I read it in Anson's book, 'Trigger-Finger Tim er Dead er Alive.' Oh, it's all hunky, I tell you."，The currants in Aunt Grenertsen’s garden were nothing to speak of, either. Awfully sour, small pinheads!

"If you put your face down to the mud and sing something to 'em, they'll come out of their holes. A beetle comed, too, but I couldn't ketch 'em both.
