   masonry, carting, rafting, plastering, glazing and painting"   
      
   Key word, "likely," not affirmed.   
      
   like·ly   
   adjective   
   1.

   they still them be slaves?   
      
   "MASSSA!" "MASSSA!" "THEY BEEZ TREES OVERZ DEY WATERZ!"   
      
   "Shut up and get back to dumping and cleaning the shitpots, Rudy."  "I   
   want every single one of them cleaned before you have lunch."
