"He says, don't do it."
"Then mind you don't."

"You don' know what they was thinkin' of."
"I know what they could not have thought of. I am different from them; I am not of their world; and I am not educated, and I am poor. There is no danger, grandmother."
"Lois, child, you never know where danger is comin'. It's safe to have your armour on, and keep out o' temptation. Tell me you'll never let yourself like a man that ain't Christian!"
"But I might not be able to help liking him."
