"Well," he observed, "maybe we can, if we want to, though I don't think what we find out 'll amount to nothin'. I was kind of cal'latin' to go to Orham next week on a little visit.
"It strikes me," said he, "that John Himes had a hearty constitution and hadn't ought to died as soon as he did. He fell away a good deal in the last years of his life."

"But what makes her sing so everlastin' LOUD?" "Can't hear herself if she don't. I could stand her deefness, because that's an affliction and we may all come to it; but " The housekeeper, still singing, entered the room and planted herself in a chair. "Good evenin', Mr. Tidditt," she said, smiling genially. "Nice weather we've been havin'." Asaph nodded.
Lloyd George himself tells the story of how he was introduced at that meeting by the chairman, a leading deacon of the village. "We have suffered much of late from misrepresentations," he said.
