Truly the terrific storms of this region are like the storms of Guy Wetmore Carryl's clever rhyme that "come early and avoid the rush."
As, you see, boys, 'twas just here, Parson Carryl's wife, she died along in the forepart o' March: my cousin Huldy, she undertook to keep house for him. The way on't was, that Huldy, she went to take care o' Mis' Carryl in the fust on't, when she fust took sick.
"'Poor man, says Mis' Pipperidge, 'what can that child that he's got there do towards takin' the care of all that place? It takes a mature woman, she says, 'to tread in Mis' Carryl's shoes. "'That it does, said Mis' Blodgett; and, when things once get to runnin' down hill, there ain't no stoppin' on 'em, says she. "Then Mis' Sawin she took it up.
Another of the late Guy Wetmore Carryl's posthumous books is "Far From the Maddening Girls," published by McClure, Phillips & Co. It is altogether a delicious piece of nonsense, serious neither in style nor intention, filled with puns so atrocious as to make the reader admire the author's audacity, the recklessness of which adds much to his entertainment.
