If she did her hair better, and sat up, and had a colour, and didn't poke her chin, she'd look quite decent. I should think it would be interesting to take some one who needed improving, and see what you could do. Lavender's gawky, of course, girls are gawky at her age, but I shouldn't wonder if she grew quite decent-looking in time. Rest and quiet would do wonders!" "Thank you, indeed!
Banks and sing the parody to that famous old song that electrified and filled with the spirit the revival meetings of the early seventies: "Brother Lavender's got some liars, Brother Slubie's got some, too; Jus' carry 'em down to Cape Fear River, An' Banks'll put 'em through." Chorus: "Git on board, children," etc. These great men are gone into the spirit world, but George Howe still lives.
