"'Twas one avenin' about siven or eight o'clock. Me an' me family were up stairs, clanin' out an office that has just been rinted. Kittie, me gurrel, wint down stairs for some extra dustin' rags. Whin she came back, she said she saw a man a-walkin' through the hallway outside. She said that as soon as he saw her, he didn't wait for the illevator, but went down the stairs in a big hurry."
She rose languidly, tucked the blanket closer about the sleeping child's head. "Tessibel," she broke forth hoarsely, "for all women folks there air brats a cryin' for their Pa's to tell 'em yep or nope. And there air men a-walkin' on the ragged rocks with singin' kisses for yer pretty face and tangled hair. There air a brat sleepin' till it's dead in the box."
Betty took up her basket again, and was proceeding leisurely towards the door, shaking her head and uttering condemnatory groans the while, when she suddenly gripped her friend by the arm with an eager exclamation. "There she be! there's the very maid a-walkin' by so bold as brass with her young man along of her!" "I shouldn't wonder," said Mrs.
One thing I thought on wuz the path I wuz a-walkin' on. I d'no as I've mentioned it before, but them foot-paths at the World's Fair are as worthy of attention as anything as there is there. I'll bet Columbus would have been glad to had such paths to walk on when he wuz foot-sore, and tired out.
The chariot wuz drawn by four high-headed and likely horses as I ever see. But alas! for my own sect. Two noble and beautiful wimmen stood a-walkin' afoot, barefoot too stood right there between the horses, each one a-holdin' the bits of two of them high-headed beasts, and their huffs ready to kick at 'em. They didn't look afraid a mite, so I don't know as I need to worry about 'em.
And the little gardens round the housen looked curious as a dog, and curiouser, with trees and shrubs dwarfed and trained into forms of animals and so forth. But I leaned heavy on the thought that my house and garden in Jonesville would look jest as queer to 'em, and got along without bein' too dumbfoundered. As I wuz a-walkin' along there I did think of the errant Old Miss Baker sent by me.
"That afternoon we gawked around, a-lookin' at all the outside shows, for Jone said he'd have to be pretty careful of his money now, an' he was glad when I told him I had two free tickets in my pocket for a show in the evenin. "As we was a-walkin' down to the ferry, after supper, says he: "'Suppose you let me have a look at them tickets. "So I hands 'em to him.
Then one mornin' when Farmer Jocelyn was a-walkin' with the baby in the fields I said to 'im, secret-like 'That ain't your child! an' he sez 'Ow do you know it ain't? An' I sez Because I saw it come with a stranger' an' he laughed an' said 'It may be mine for all that! But I knew it worn't! A nice little girl she is too, Miss Innocent poor soul!
She wouldn't hev HER sperit seen a-walkin' way up hyar a- top o' the mounting, like enny healthy harnt, fur nuthin' in this worl'. Whatever 'twar, 'twarn't HER. An' I reckon of the truth war knowed, 'twarn't nuthin' at all forg, mebbe." This stalwart reasoning served to steady his nerves a little.
"'Oh, anything, says I. 'Let's take any name at random. "'All right, says he. 'Let it be random. Earl an' Earl-ess Random. Come along. "So we walks about, I feelin' mighty noble an' springy, an' afore long we sees another couple a-walkin' about under the trees. "'Who's them? says I. "'Don't know, says he, 'but I expect they're some o' the other boarders.
