may be quite a hard lookin' dress before she puts it on, but
before she has wore it half a hour it will kinder crease down into
the softest lookin, thing you ever see. And so with her bonnets,
and mantillys, and everything.

The down onto a goslin's breast never looked softer than every rag
she had on this very afternoon, and no tender goslin' itself wuz
ever softer than she wuz on the inside on't. But that didn't
hinder my likin' her.

Wall, anon, or a little before, we came to that long, long
buildin', beautiful and dretful ornimental, but I could see plain
by daylight what I had mistrusted before, that it wuzn't built for
warmth. It must be dretful cold in the winter, and I don't see
how the wimmen folks of the home could stand it, unless they hang
up bed quilts and blankets round the side, and then, I should
think they would freeze. They couldn't keep their house plants
over winter any way - and I see they had sights of 'em - unless
they kep' 'em down suller.

But howsumever, that is none of my lookout. If they want to be so
fashionable, as to try to live out doors and in the house too,
that is none of my business. And of course it looked dretful
ornimental and pretty. But I will say this, it haint bein' mejum.
I should rather live either out doors, or in the house, one of the
2. But I am a eppisodin'. And to resoom.

Josiah Allen paid the money demanded of him and we went in and
advanced onwards to where a boy wuz a pullin' up the water and
handin' of it round.
