But I don't; so you can't, after all, call it a religious exper'ence none; nothin' more'n a eepisode. "'It's winter when I makes them grace-of-heaven determinations, goes on this Boggs, 'an' the spring round-up is months away.
He points out, fairly enough, that there hasn't been a single conviction in any lawful court against the Mormons for the crimes they are accused of. But what of that if Boggs is Governor?
"My mother went to college and she says that every girl in her graduating class was married inside of five years even the homely ones. You see, the homely ones make such perfectly splendid professors' wives. There's even a chance for Procrastination Boggs, you see." "You ridiculous girl!" Nan said. "Come on! Who's going down town with me?
Murrell was saying, as he watched his friend out of the corner of his eyes. "She was mad enough, the way you pushed in on us at Boggs' yesterday. What happened back in North Carolina, Murrell, anyhow?" "Never you mind what happened."
Away at three o'clock in the morning, when we had gone to press and were having a relaxing concert as usual for some of the printers were good singers and others good performers on the guitar and on that atrocity the accordion the proprietor of the Union strode in and desired to know if anybody had heard anything of Boggs or the school report.
