Jist let him lam you-all t'-night and see whether he kin er not." "Thank you.

I prefer to do the 'lamming' myself.

When 'Paw' comes home please tell him I wish he would call on us to-day, for we are planning on moving our camp to-morrow.

Tell him I wish to have a friendly talk with him." Julie shook her head vigorously.
"Paw ain't strong on that kind o' talk.

He'd rather fit with a man than gab with him." Lieutenant Wingate asked Julie if she would dance with him, saying that Nora would be glad to have Julie do that.
"Ah will not," she retorted with a fine show of indignation.
"Why not ?" teased Hippy.
"'Cause my feller would lam you-all's haid off an' then give me er punch in the jaw." "Gracious! Lum is a gentle animal, isn't he ?" grinned Hippy.
Julie blinked, but made no reply.
