5 When we was ten foot off Tom whispered to me, and wanted to tie Jim to the tree for fun.
6 Jim was monstrous proud about it, and he got so he wouldn't hardly notice the other niggers.
7 Jim smelt it and bit it and rubbed it, and said he would manage so the hair-ball would think it was good.
8 Niggers would come miles to hear Jim tell about it, and he was more looked up to than any nigger in that country.
9 Jim was most ruined for a servant, because he got stuck up on account of having seen the devil and been rode by witches.

11 Miss Watson's big nigger, named Jim, was setting in the kitchen door; we could see him pretty clear, because there was a light behind him.
12 Miss Watson's nigger, Jim, had a hair-ball as big as your fist, which had been took out of the fourth stomach of an ox, and he used to do magic with it.
