Ain't you got no better sense'n to be Chawing my frock, dog?
"Two Prisoners"
Thomas Nelson Page
Ben, said he, looking after the tobacco as it was tossed from one wave to another, and shaking his fist after it in virtuous indignation, that's a habit as you ought to be ashamed on, Ben Benson, a habit as no dog wouldn't take from you on any account, yet you've just kept it up Chawing and Chawing from morning till night, till she'll catch you at it some day, and then you'll have done for yourself, and no mistake.
"Mabel's Mistake"
Ann S. Stephens
"Very true, my bright little fellow," says the master; "now go back to your Chawing."
