"In a way it was," said Bob, dryly, "for in Asheville he celebrated his adventures not wisely, but too well, and on the way out he fell from the platform and was killed." "Bob, how can you be so flippant?" objected Sydney to the crestfallen young man. "It seems a terrible end." "All sudden deaths seem terrible to us who are left behind," said Mrs.
Were you not the colored man who told me you had lost your wife and six children by the sinking of the Titanic?" "Yeth, ma'am, dat wuz me. Mos' unfort'nit man dat eber wuz. Kain't keep a fam'ly nohow." An old lady, who was sitting on the porch of a hotel at Asheville, North Carolina, where also there were a number of youngsters, was approached by one of them with this query: "Can you crack nuts?"
Of course Michaux was wildly mistaken in thinking Grandfather "the highest mountain in all North America." It is far from being even the highest of the Appalachians.

"Still, the railroad has opened the country and given the farmers new markets," asserted John.
"I saw you look out the window a minute ago and shiver." "Just my imagination," laughed Sally Carroll "I'm used to havin' everythin' quiet outside an' sometimes I look out an' see a flurry of snow an' it's just as if somethin' dead was movin'" He nodded appreciatively. "Ever been North before?" "Spent two Julys in Asheville, North Carolina."

As the French claimed ownership of all the affluents of the Mississippi, this latter was called the French Broad.
He had taken a month's instruction at a cabinet maker's in Asheville and the bed, bureau, tables and chairs which he had turned out were astonishingly beautiful. Their lines were copied from old models and each piece was a work of art. The iron work was even more tastefully and beautifully wrought.
