Then said she: "I don't see why we should stay here any longer. It's going to rain again, and our vacation is up to-morrow, anyway. Could you wait a little while, while we pack up?" she said to the driver. "Oh yes!" he replied. "I kin wait, as well as not. I've only got one passenger, an' he's on top, a-holdin' the horses. He aint in any hurry, I know, an' I'm ahead o' time."
Gracious Peter! what will become of me!" he groaned out, a-holdin' his foot in his hand. Sez I, "Let me put some Pond's Extract on it, Josiah." "Pond's Extract!" he yelled, and then he called that good remedy words I wuz ashamed to hear him utter. And he jumped round and pranced and kicked just as it is the nater of man to act under bodily injury of that sort.
There wuz I, still a-holdin' him by the back of his frock he had on his barn clothes. "Then do you tell your pardner the meanin' of your actions imegetly and to once."
They know at the most it is only talk, wimmen hain't got it in their power to do anything. And I s'pose they reason on it in this way a little wind storm is soon over, it relieves old Natur and don't hurt anything. Yes, my pardner's face wuz as calm as the figger on the outside of the almanac a-holdin' the bottle, and his axent wuz mildly wonderin' and gently sarcestickle.
But the likeness was awful strikin'. "'Well, my good woman, says he, a-holdin' my open letter in his hand, 'so you want to see a lord, do you?" "What on earth did you write to him?" exclaimed Euphemia. "You mustn't go on a bit further until you have told what was in your letter."
Every other man seemed to be a-holdin' off, not willin' seemin'ly that she should have one, and I jest thought I would happify her with one." "Wall, why didn't you make her a silver one, or a tin?" sez I. "Or a paper one!" screamed Lodema, who had riz up out of her almost faintin' condition. "That would have been much more appropriate," sez she.
He made that body of men appoint a board of Lady Managers two ladies from each State and Territory, and eight lady managers at large, and nine at Chicago." That name "Lady Manager" wuz done by Uncle Sam's over-politeness to the sect, and I don't know as Josiah wuz to blame. You would think by the name that them ladies wuz a-settin' in rows of gilded chairs, a-holdin' a rosy in their hands.

Course you can leave the do' open all the time like we-all do; but when you're a-holdin' co't and sech-like maybe you'll want to shet the do' sometimes and then whar'll ye git breath to breathe?... All these here glass winders is blame foolishness to me. Ef ye need light, open the do'. Ef somebody comes that ye don't want in, you can shet it and put up a bar.
"You 'm right theer, Peter, so theer be so theer be why, I be a old, old man, wi' more years than 'airs on my 'ead, an' yet it seems but yesterday as I were a-holdin' on to my mother's skirt, an' wonderin' 'ow the moon got lighted. Life be very short, Peter, an' while we 'ave it 'tis well to get all the 'appiness out of it we can."
