He too had heerd the fearful word and his princeples too wuz
rousted up. He driv right on rapidly, out of the gate and into
the highway. But as he druv on fast and almost furius I heerd
him murmur words to himself, that accounted for his eager looks
while the man wuz dickerin' about the pool. He sez, "It is dumb
hard work pumpin' water for so many head of cattle." He thought
a pool would come handy, so I see. But it wuz all done and I
would have done the same thing if it was to do over agin, so I

along in quiet; and anon, I see the turbelence of his feelin's
subsided in a measure.

It wuz a gettin' along towards sundown and the air wuz a growin'
cool and balmy, as if it wuz a blowin' over some balm flowers,
and we begun to feel quite well in our minds, though the crowd
in the road wuz too big for comfert. The crowd of carriages and
horses, and vehicles of all kinds, seemed to go in two big full
rows or streams, one a goin' down on one side of the road, and
the other a goin' up on the other. So the 2 tides swept past

but feathers, and bows, and laces, and parasols, and buttons, and
diamonds, and etcetry, etcetry, etcetry.

And all of a sudden my Josiah jest turned into a big gate that
wuz a standin' wide open and we drove into a beautiful quiet road
that went a windin' in under the shadows of the tall grand old
trees. He did it without askin' my advice or sayin' a word to
me. But I wuzn't sorry. Fur it wuz beautiful in there. It
seemed as if we had left small cares and vexations and worryments
out there in the road and dust, and took in with us only repose
