We've been feedin' it out ever since some time this side o' the middle o' November; I never see nothin' sweeter, and I don't want to see nothin' sweeter than it is! and the cattle eats it like May roses they don't know how to thank you enough for it." "To thank you, Mr. Douglass," said Fleda smiling. "No," said he in a decided manner, "I don't want no thanks for it, and I don't deserve none!
Angelina first stood in front of the Speaker's desk, then she was requested to occupy the Secretary's desk on one side, and soon after, that she might be seen as well as heard, she was invited to stand in the Speaker's place.

"Mrs. Douglass," said Mr. Olmney, "I feel very much inclined to play the host, and beg my friends to share with me some of these good things they have been so bountifully providing."
