a hill, the Indian Encampment is encamped. There is a hull row
of little stores, and there is swings, and public diversions of
different kinds, krokay grounds, etc., etc., etc.

Wall, Ardelia stopped at one of these stores kep' by a Injun, not
a West, but a East one, and began to price some wooden bracelets,
and try 'em on, and Josiah and me wandered on.

And anon, we came to a tent with some good verses of Scripter on
it; good solid Bible it wuz; and so I see it wuz a good creeter
in there anyway. And I asked a bystander a standin' by, Who wuz
in there, and Why, and When?

And he said it wuz a fortune-teller who would look in the pamm of
my hand, and tell me all my fortune that wuz a passin' by. And I
said I guessed I would go in, for I would love to know how the
children wuz that mornin' and whether the baby had got over her
cold. I hadn't heerd from 'em in over two days.

Josiah kinder hung 'round outside though he wuz willin' to have
me go in. He jest worships the children and the baby. And he
sees the texts from Job on it, with his own eyes.

So I bid him a affectionate farewell, and we see the woman a
lookin' out of the tent and witnessin' on't. But I didn't care.
If a pair of companions and a pair of grandparents can't act
affectionate, who can? And the world and the Social Science
meetin' might try in vain to bring up any reeson why they
shouldn't.
