A human, or a ghost either, that does things like that is jest simply got no principle to him.

I hearn a lot of talk about 'em, first and last, and I ain't ready to say they ain't no ghosts, nor yet ready to say they is any.

To say they is any is to say something that is too plumb unlikely.

And too many people has saw them fur me to say they ain't any.

But if they is, or they ain't, so fur as I can see, it don't make much difference.
