Twain, Mark

"The Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn"

Why, Hare-l- why, Joanna, they never see a holiday from year's end to year's end; never go to the circus, nor theatre, nor nigger shows, nor nowheres."


? ? ? ? "Nor church?"


? ? ? ? "Nor church."


? ? ? ? "But you always went to church."


? ? ? ? Well, I was gone up again. I forgot I was the old man's servant. But next minute I whirled in on a kind of an explanation how a valley was different from a common servant, and had to go to church whether he wanted to or not, and set with the family, on account of it's being the law. But I didn't do it pretty good, and when I got done I see she warn't satisfied. She says:


? ? ? ? "Honest injun, now, hain't you been telling me a lot of lies?"


? ? ? ? "Honest injun," says I.


? ? ? ? "None of it at all?"


? ? ? ? "None of it at all. Not a lie in it," says I.


? ? ? ? "Lay your hand on this book and say it."


? ? ? ? I see it warn't nothing but a dictionary, so I laid my hand on it and said it.
