Louise agreed about the "bone" she had given her Aunt Euphemia a hard one to gnaw on. The girl followed Mrs. Conroth to the automobile and helped her in. Cap'n Amazon came to the store door as politely as though he were seeing an honored guest over the ship's side. "Ask your A'nt 'Phemie to come again. Too bad she ain't satisfied to jine us here. Plenty o' cabin room.
Father John, I a'nt bridesmaid." "Oh! but you will be; and, as Thady a'nt here, Captain Ussher 'll be best man; come round, Captain," and Ussher came round. "And mind, Captain," he added, whispering, "when I come to 'salute nostrâ' those are the last words you're to kiss the bride; you are to kiss her first, and then you'll be married yourself before the year's out."
As Grandpa Markham was rather blind, he failed to see the point, but knew that in some way he had given offense. "I beg your pardon, ma'am; I was sure you was some kin maybe an a'nt."

I'll go this time mebbe for two-three months. Take a v'y'ge somewhere, I've always wanted to." "Land sakes!" exploded Cap'n Joab.
Her sun-bonnet was so tied before her face that they could see little of it but two eyes, which gleamed black and keen like the eyes of a hawk. She raised the man gently to his feet, and then turned round fiercely upon the ring of women and children about her. "Now," she said imperiously, "cease your bawling, and let mun go.

She found him reading an epistle of his own, while Cap'n Joab, Milt Baker, Washy Gallup, and several other neighbors hovered near. "Yep. I got one myself," announced Cap'n Amazon. "Oh, captain!" "Yep. From Abe. Good reason why your father didn't speak of Abe in his letter to your a'nt. Didn't in yours, did he?"
Higby heartily, "for that a'nt of his well, there, Phronsie, she ain't to my taste; she is such a making sort of woman she comes in here and she wants to make me do this, and do that, till I'm most out of my wits, and I'd like to take my broom and say 'scat' as I do to the cat," and a black frown settled on Mrs. Higby's pleasant face.
