Josiah always looks tired in the mornin' when he has got his milkin' and barn-chores done, so it didn't surprise me. And havin' calculated to tackle him on my own errent first, consequently I tackled him. I told him how deep my love and devotion to my pardner wuz. And he said, "he had heard of it." And I says, "I s'pose so. I s'pose such things will spread, bein' a sort of a rarity.
Besides my barn-chores, and all the wearin' cares I have mentioned, I have five acres of potatoes to hoe and dig, a barn to shingle, a pig-pen to new cover, a smoke-house to fix, a bed of beets and a bed of turnips to dig, ruty bagys, and four big beds of onions to weed dumb 'em! and six acres of corn to husk. My barn-floor at this time is nearly covered with stooks.
And I drawed up a stand in front of the fire, with a bright crimson spread on it, for the lamp; and I put Josiah's rockin'- chair and mine, one on each side of it; and put Josiah's slippers in front of the hearth to warm. And then I took my knittin'-work, and went to knittin'; and by that time Josiah had got his barn-chores all done, and come in.
