Swar away, ole fellow (says I to myself ); will yer have yer hoss now, or wait till you cotch him?
(says I).

Lor, Andy, I think I can see him now." And Sam and Andy leaned up against the barn and laughed to their hearts' content.
"Yer oughter seen how mad he looked, when I brought the hoss up.
Lord, he'd a killed me, if he durs' to; and there I was a standin' as innercent and as humble." "Lor, I seed you," said Andy; "an't you an old hoss, Sam ?" "Rather specks I am," said Sam; "did yer see Missis up stars at the winder?
I seed her laughin'." "I'm sure, I was racin' so, I didn't see nothing," said Andy.
"Well, yer see," said Sam, proceeding gravely to wash down Haley's pony, "I 'se 'quired what yer may call a habit _o' bobservation_, Andy.

It's a very 'portant habit, Andy; and I 'commend yer to be cultivatin' it, now yer young.

Hist up that hind foot, Andy.

Yer see, Andy, it's _bobservation_ makes all de difference in niggers.
