I know that the Connecticut settlers talk about their West Herfield meeting-house; but I never believe more than half what they say, they are such unconscionable braggers. Just as you have got a thing done, if they see it likely to be successful, they are always for interfering; and then its tea to one but they lay claim to half, or even all of the credit.
Oh, I have it 'from the middle and humbler walks of English life; not blue Mayflowers, but common colors can't you see that it will be such larks for me to use this little fact like a little bombshell, when Mrs. Arkwright, or Maud, or Flo Aplin, or any of these Mayflower braggers begin to hold forth?" "Why, Kitty, I thought you liked Maud and Flo!"
Dear children, though you're winners, Be modest all; For pride must fall, And braggers lose their dinners.

He grew to be a fine handsome fellow, and was sold to a family who lived on the meadow-bank.
Half a dozen fine, active lads, of influence among their comrades, grew into men and yearned for cricket. In short, the practice recommenced, and the hill was again alive with men and boys and innocent merriment. Still, we were modest and doubted our own strength. The B people, on the other hand, must have been braggers born. Never was such boasting! Such ostentatious display of practice!
