Huckleberry Finn

"If I had a yaller dog that didn't know no more than a person's conscience does, I would pison him."

"I don't take no stock in dead people."

"I am powerfully afraid of ghosts."

"They educated me none."

"I couldn't understand what he meant by sivilizing me, for it was rough living in the house all the time."

"Miss Watson's ghost would come to me."

"I was powerful glad to get away."

"It's lovely to live on a raft."

"We said there wasn't no home like a raft."

"I never felt easy till the raft was safe in the middle of the river."

"The river was a-rising and I reckoned that pretty soon we would have to get into our canoe."

"It's enough to make a body ashamed of the human race."

"That is just the way with some people; they get down on a thing when they don't know nothing about it."

"All I was after was to go somewheres; all I wanted was a change."

"I felt awful mean and miserable inside."

"Human beings can be awful cruel to one another."

"I knew he would never consent to any plan that wasn't mighty risky."

"I just expected he wouldn't know nothing about it."

"It was most dark now, and I heard some people making towards us."

"I was between a rock and a hard place."

"My conscience got to stirring me up hotter than ever."

"The more I studied about this the more my conscience went to grinding me."

"I was in awful trouble."

"I never seen anybody as glad as he was."

"The thing was to get up the river some way or other."

"I could always believe it when it came from him."

"I couldn't ever feel bad nor sorry for him afterwards any more than before."

"I reckon I got to light out for the Territory ahead of the rest, because Aunt Sally she's going to adopt me and sivilize me, and I can't stand it."

"All right, then, I'll go to hell."

"It was a close call, and I was mighty glad to get away."
