Sivu 220 - Smiley a look, as much as to say his heart was broke, and it was his fault, for putting up a dog that hadn't no hind legs for him to take holt of, which was his main dependence in a fight, and then he limped off a piece and laid down and died. It was a good pup, was that Andrew Jackson, and would have...
Sivu 219 - ... like the furnaces. And a dog might tackle him and bullyrag him, and bite him, and throw him over his shoulder two or three times, and Andrew Jackson — which was the name of the pup — Andrew Jackson would never let on but what he was satisfied, and hadn't expected nothing...
Sivu 220 - He ketched a frog one day, and took him home, and said he cal'lated to educate him ; and so he never done nothing for three months but set in his back yard and learn that frog to jump.

Sivu 224 - Frenchman, but it warn't no use — he couldn't budge; he was planted as solid as a church, and he couldn't no more stir than if he was anchored out. Smiley was a good deal surprised, and he was disgusted, too, but he didn't have no idea what the matter was, of course. The feller took the money and started away; and when he was going out at the door he sorter jerked his thumb over his shoulder — so — at Dan'l, and says again, very deliberate: "Well," he says, "I don't see no p'ints about that...
Sivu 215 - ... initial sentence, he never betrayed the slightest suspicion of enthusiasm, but all through the interminable narrative there ran a vein of impressive earnestness and sincerity which showed me plainly that, so far from his imagining that there was anything ridiculous or funny about his story, he regarded it as a really important matter and admired its two heroes as men of transcendent genius in .finesse.
Sivu 223 - Well, I'm only a stranger here, and I ain't got no frog; but if I had a frog I'd bet you." And then Smiley says, "That's all right — that's all right — if you'll hold my box a minute I'll go and get you a frog.
