Quotation from: The Strength of the Strong

Written by: Jack London


"The way ut grew! Ut was un keepun' wuth the way ut ate. Ot a
year ut was the size o' a bairn of two. Ut was slow tull walk an'
talk. Exceptun' for gurgly noises un uts throat an' for creepun'
on all fours, ut dudna monage much un the walkun' an' talkun' line.
But thot was tull be expected from the way ut grew. Ut all went
tull growun' strong an' healthy. An' even old Tom Henan cheered up
ot the might of ut an' said was there ever the like o' ut un the
three Kungdoms. Ut was Doctor Hall thot first suspicioned, I mind
me well, though ut was luttle I dreamt what he was up tull ot the
time. I seehum holdun' thungs' un fronto' luttle Sammy's eyes, an'
a-makun' noises, loud an' soft, an' far an' near, un luttle Sammy's
ears. An' then I see Doctor Hall go away, wrunklun' hus eyebrows
an' shakun' hus head like the bairn was ailun'. But he was no
ailun', oz I could swear tull, me a-seeun' hum eat an' grow. But
Doctor Hall no said a word tull Margaret an' I was no for guessun'
the why he was sore puzzled.
