"T'morrer mornin', Joel!" said Mr. Shrig, taking up the reins; and flicking the horse, away we went at a sharp trot. "Do you propose to stay the night at Tonbridge, Mr. Shrig?" "Vy it's all accordin' to Number Vun, sir. Number Vun set out for Tonbridge but might be goin' further; v'ether 'e does or no, depends on Number Two." "I fear I do not understand you, Mr. Shrig."

He came in at our place one evening with a big hook and line from 'down east' the kind of tackle used in salt water. 'What ye goin' t' dew with it? Uncle Eb enquired. 'Ketch thet fish ye talk 5' much about goin' t' put him out o' the way. ''Tain't fair, said Uncle Eb, 'its reedic'lous. Like leading a pup with a log chain.
