And he'd be just the man for Artemas, seeing as he's been studying just such things. It wasn't no use taking up the time writing in my diary, as Artemas must have a telegraph before night, and the boys home from school to know if they might go to the swamp after checkerberries, and Lavinia with them, and I let her go, clean apron and all, and I put on my bonnet to go over to Mrs. Prince's.
I suppose I ought to have put it in as being one of the principal events; but somehow I have been so unsettled since the fire, I haven't seemed to think to write it down. And, of course, Artemas would see from the depot, the minute he arrived, that the house wasn't there, and he wouldn't need to wait and read about it in my diary; and I have been pretty busy getting set to rights again.
Accordingly they came from their different posts, and were ushered into the reception-room. The commander-in-chief arose from our great chair to greet them." "What were their names?" asked Charley. "There was General Artemas Ward," replied Grandfather, "a lawyer by profession.
Once my heart would have been very sad, and I would have done something very wicked. I look forward and trust Jesus." This is how Rev. Artemas Ehnamane spent his vacations, hunting for wild souls instead of wild deer. He was a scriptural, personal and powerful preacher. Faith in a risen Saviour, was the keynote of his ministry.
Meanwhile, Goldsmith was plodding earnestly through his stint, utterly and happily oblivious of the effect he was having upon his audience. "This is awful," whispered Wellington to Bonaparte.

Artemas Ward told me once how a camp-meeting he attended in the West broke up to go outside and see a dog-fight.
Accordingly I had a few cards neatly printed on glossed board reading: MR.

The curse of dialect writing is elision.
I never was so behindhand; but what with fitting off Artemas and the spring cleaning being delayed, I didn't seem to know how to manage. Martha is good at making over, and there are two very good coats of Artemas's that she would do the right thing by; while there was a good many who could scrub and clean as well as she, there was that Nora that used to live at Patty's. But Mrs.
Oh, the dreariness of having to explain pleasantry! of appending to your banter Artemas Ward's parenthesis, "This is a goak"! of dealing with people who do not know the difference between a blow and a "love-pat," between Quaker guns and an Armstrong battery, between a granite paving-stone and the moonshine on a mud-puddle! Dear Public, don't begin to be tired yet. I am not.
