Babbie and I would like first-rate to have you stay. Wouldn't we, Babbie?" Barbara nodded. "Yes, sir," she said. "And the chowder will be awf'ly good. Uncle Jed's chowders always are."

You see, I'm makin' a chowder here and it's just about got to the place where you can't " "Look here, you," began his questioner, but he was interrupted in his turn.

"You ought to be a deacon in the First Church at Equity," said Bartley. "Is that so? Why?" asked Kinney. "Oh, they don't believe in interfering with any man's religion, either."

Mrs. , whilst gathering a handful of fine green peas, suddenly stooped, and looking earnestly at the ground, called to me. "Come here, Susanna, and tell me what has been buried here. It looks like the tail of a dog." She might have added, "of my dog."
For my dishes I was indebted to the skill of Scipio's helpmate, Chloe, and through her I became acquainted with the Creole delicacies of "gumbo", "fish chowder," fricasseed frogs, hot "waffles," stewed tomatoes, and many other dainties of the Louisiana cuisine.
