The little girl upbraided him, Youse allus fightin, Jimmie, an yeh knows it puts mudder out when yehs come home half dead, an its like well all get a poundin.
...To him the police were always actuated by malignant impulses and the rest of the world was composed, for the most part, of despicable creatures who were all trying to take advantage of him and with whom, in defense, he was obliged to quarrel on all possible occasions.
...When they would thrust at, or parry, the noses of his champing horses, making them swing their heads and move their feet, disturbing a solid dreamy repose, he swore at the men as fools, for he himself could perceive that Providence had caused it clearly to be written, that he and his team had the unalienable right to stand in the proper path of the sun chariot, and if they so minded, obstruct its mission or take a wheel off.
...One day the young man, Pete, who as a lad had smitten the Devils Row urchin in the back of the head and put to flight the antagonists of his friend, Jimmie, strutted upon the scene.
...I see he had a still on an I didn wanna giv im no stuff, so I says: Git deh hell outa here an don make no trouble, I says like dat!
