Humbug? Shecoonery? Useless truck or gum? Hornswoggling? Honey-fuggling? Not 
in this book, dear sir! I swan to mercy, a huckle- berry above anyone's 
persimmon. Some pumpkins, a caution, 100 percent certified by a Philadelfy 
lawyer. If not, dad-blame it, I'll hang up my fiddle, and you can sass me, 
knock me into a cocked hat, give me jesse, fix my flint, settle my hash, 
ride me out on a rail and have a conniption fit, you cussed scalawag. Now 
ain't that the beatingest language you ever did hear? Sure beats the Dutch! 
Pshaw! Do tell! Bully for you!
