Well, well and how then is my future or past bride? I hope she'll not be may I not have the honor of seeing Miss Louisa? MRS MILLER. Thanks for inquiries, Mr. Seckertary, but my daughter is not at all proud. Woman! MRS MILLER. Sorry she can't have that honor, Mr. Seckertary. My daughter is now at mass. WORM. I am glad to hear it, glad to hear it. I shall have in her a pious, Christian wife!
The fust volyume of the cyclopeedy stood on a shelf in the old seckertary in the settin'-room about four months before they had any use f'r it. One night Squire Turner's son come over to visit Leander 'nd Hattie, and they got to talkin' about apples, 'nd the sort uv apples that wuz the best.
I shall say to him, "Your excellency's son has an eye to my daughter; my daughter is not good enough to be your excellency's son's wife, but too good to be your excellency's son's strumpet, and there's an end of the matter. My name is Miller." Enter SECRETARY WORM. MRS MILLER. Ah! Good morning, Mr. Seckertary! Have we indeed the pleasure of seeing you again?
WORM. All on my side on my side, cousin Miller! Where a high-born cavalier's visits are received mine can be of no account whatever. MRS MILLER. How can you think so, Mr. Seckertary? His lordship the baron, Major Ferdinand, certainly does us the honor to look in now and then; but, for all that, we don't undervalue others. A chair, wife, for the gentleman! Be seated, kinsman.
Theron felt that his countenance must be exhibiting to the assembled brethren an unfortunate sense of helplessness in their hands. He tried to look more resolute, and forced his lips into a smile. "Brother Gorringe allus acts as Seckertary," said Erastus Winch, beaming broadly upon the minister, as if the mere mention of the fact promoted jollity.
Leander went to the seckertary 'nd took down the cyclopeedy 'nd hunted all through it f'r Apples, but all he could find wuz "Apple See Pomology." "How in thunder kin I see Pomology," sez Leander, "when there ain't no Pomology to see? Gol durn a cyclopeedy, anyhow!" And he put the volyume back onto the shelf 'nd never sot eyes into it ag'in. That's the way the thing run f'r years 'nd years.
Seckertary! more respect, I beg MILLER. Hold your tongue, I say. Never mind her, kinsman. Things remain as they were. The answer I gave you last harvest, I repeat to-day. I'll not force my daughter. If you suit her, well and good; then it's for her to see that she can be happy with you.

MRS MILLER. But, as you yourself must see, Mr. Seckertary Woman! You understand me, Mr. Seckertary? WORM. Understand. Not exac . Oh, yes. But what do you really mean?
