The bag would hold about 4 quarts and it wuz full. I looked at it
and sithed.

"I see," sez she, "that you are sorry that we didn't bring more
poetry with us. But we thought that this little batch would give
you a idee of what a mind she has, what a glorious, soarin' genus
wuz in front of you, and we could bring more the next time we
come."

I sithed agin, three times, but Miss Tutt didn't notice 'em a mite
no more'n they'd been giggles or titters. She wouldn't have took
no notice of them. She wuz firm and decided doin' her own errent,
and not payin' no attention to anything, nor anybody else.

"Ardelia, read the poem you have got under your arm to Miss Allen!
The bag wuz full of her longer ones," sez she, "but I felt that I
must let you hear her poem on spring. It is a gem. I felt it
would be wrongin' you, not to give you that treat. Read it
Ardelia."

I see Ardelia wuz used to obeyin' her ma. She opened the sheet to
once, and begun.

Jest the minute Ardelia stopped readin' Miss Tatt says proudly:
"There! haint that a remarkable poem,?"

Sez I, calmly, "Yes it is a remarkable one."

"Did you ever hear anything like it?" says she, triumphly.
