And after Krit went away he had come over from Tirzah Ann's that day, and staid to supper with us I sot there alone, for Josiah had took him back in the democrat, and all the circumstances of that time come back onto me agin.

And he stopped onbuttonin' his vest he had onbuttoned his shirt-collar and took his old necktie off on his way from the gate so ardent and impulsive is my dear pardner, and so anxious to start. "Why," sez he, "I told you, didn't I? I am goin' to Washington to tend to that Equinomical Counsel.
"Crazy or not it will be did; summer squash would look well and be equinomical, I could probable train 'em so you'd seem to be holdin' the squashes in your arms." "Give up the hull skeem, Josiah Allen; don't try to combine love and economy so clost." But he vowed he wouldn't give it up, and I spoze I may see trouble weanin' him from the idee.

Blandina and I wanted to go to once to Miss Huff's, a woman we used to know in Jonesville who keeps a small boardin' house. But Josiah, who had seen pictures on't, wanted to go to the Inside Inn. He said they'd advertised cheap rooms, it would have a stylish sound to tell on't in Jonesville and it would be so handy and equinomical for we wouldn't have to pay entrance fees.
