I didn't sell 'm then, an' I ain't a-sellin' 'm now. Besides, I think a mighty lot of that dog. I've ben lookin' for 'm for three years.
Looked like every way I turned I went up against it proper, and first thing I knowed my furniture was piled out on the sidewalk and Mr. Sheriff he was a-sellin' it. Well, sir, Mr. Worth he happened to come along just as they begun to ask for bids and I'm darned if he didn't take the whole works just as if he had done nothin' but buy barber shops all his life.
Sez I, in a fearful meanin' axent, "I hearn he did at the time he wuz up I hearn he contributed lots to the male brethren who was a-judgin' him but," sez I, "do you spoze, Josiah Allen, that if wimmen wuz allowed their way in the matter, that that man would be allowed to stay in the meetin' house, and keep on a-makin' and a-sellin' the poisen that is sendin' men to ruin all round him
"Bob Sullivan, quit yer laughin' an' tell me what you're talkin' about," stormed a shrill treble. "Who's a-sellin' their vote?" Bob squirmed and struggled. "A feller can't talk without breathin'!" he choked. "Well, then, breathe!" commanded Jim, jerking his companion to a sitting posture and loosening his clasp on his throat. "Now who's a-sellin' their vote?"

'Well, mother, said Cyril, 'and what did the shiny Quaker say? 'They calls me "Jokin' Meg" in Primrose Court.
"Oh, gee, gee! that's too good!" gurgled the boy on the grass, rolling from side to side. "The saint, the sample, the pattern, the feller what treats 'em square, a-sellin' his vote! Oh, gee, gee!" The ground suddenly shook with the impact of two sturdy little feet, and Bob found his throat in the grasp of two strong little hands.

"'Well, that's awful, says I, 'too. The magistrates ought to see to that; it ain't right, when folks assemble that way to worship, to be a-sellin' of rum; and gin, and brandy, and spirits, is it? "'I don't mean that, sais he, 'although, p'rhaps, there was too much of that wicked traffic too, I mean the preachin'. It was very peeowerful; there was "many sinners saved."
