Why, when I took her out to see my cousin Bob, she couldn't say bo to a goose. He laughed about her afterwards like anything; said she ought to have come in a perambulator, with a nurse.

I didn't know how tired I was till now." "Yes, suh, I'se glad you all is home for the night, suh. I sho' is. I got mighty little use for this yuh country.
