It rained hard that night, and the next morning the grass was pretty wet.
"There's Mrs Brown's baby expectin' to be waited on 'and an' foot, an' thinks nothin' of wakin' 'er up in the night, cryin' its heart out one minute, an' cooin' like a dove the next, though I don't 'old with keepin' birds in the 'ouse as makes an awful mess, an' always the fear of a nasty nip through the bars of the cage, which means a piece of rag tied round your finger."

"Well, Lucy says it's for that sort of doin's as she left her happy home an' her razor-stroppin' father, an' she says the billin' an' cooin' of Gran'ma Mullins over Hiram is enough to make a wedded wife sick.
The cat spat viciously, startled by the sudden movement. "I wish ye'd left that damn cat to hum! I hain't no notion to be bit by no cat." "Kitty won't bite ye if ye let me alone will ye, Kitty? I ain't never afeard of nothin' when I got him with me be I, Kitty, pretty pussy?" "Stop a cooin', ye bughouse woman," snarled Crabbe, "and tell me what ye got to!" "I said Flea wasn't for you."
