Why, says I, I'd do as Dr. Comfort Payne sarved father; and how was that, said they. Why, says I, he put him into such a sweat as I never seed him in afore, in all my born days, since I was raised, by sending him in his bill, and if that did'nt sweat him it's a pity; it was an ACTIVE dose you may depend. I guess that are chap has cut his eye teeth, said the President, let him pass as approbated.
The party had now arrived at the corner of Coburg and Charlotte streets when the latter hastily exclaimed. "By Jiminey! I must go and see about a tub that a woman was to leave for me in the market. It's a good thing I did'nt forgit; for Melindy would have my head off." "I don't think Melindy is so dreadful as you seem to say, Mr.
Did'nt he gallop pretty, that's all? He walked away from him, jist as the Chancellor Livingston steam boat passes a sloop at anchor in the north river. Says I, I told you your horse would beat me clean out of sight, but you would'nt believe me; now, says I, I will tell you something else.
Daniels was'nt pleased a bit and showed plain enough she did'nt like the lady, fine as she was in her ways. She was going to answer her too, but just then the front door opened and Mr. Blake with his satchel in his hand, came into the house.
Our old minister had a darter, a real clever lookin gall as you'd see in a day's ride, and she had two or three offers of marriage from sponsible men most particular good specs but minister always said 'Phoebe, you are too young the day will come but you are too young yet dear. Well, Phoebe did'nt think so at all; she said she guessed she knew better nor that: so the next offer she had, she said she had no notion to lose another chance off she sot to Rhode Island and got married; says she, father's too old, he don't know.
Sais he: "Mr Shlick, I did'nt lose much by her: the soldier carry her per order, de pand play for noting, and de crape on de arm came from her ponnet." "But the loss of your wife?" said I. Well, that excited him, and he began to talk Hessian. "Jubes renovare dolorem," said he. "I don't understand High Dutch," sais I, "when it's spoke so almighty fast." "It's a ted language," said he.
It warn't manly in me, that's a fact; but confound her, why the plague did she call me 'Mr, and act formal, and give me the bag to hold, when she knew me of old, and minded the cherry-tree, and all that?

I don't see why I should not be affectionate to Fanny " "Humph!" from Fanny. "She is my dearest cousin is Miss Fanny Temple; and we have been in love with each other for the last twenty years, more or less!"
We went to a public house where she and her family were well known, and when she was asked by the landlord how she happened to come there with the doctor, her prompt answer was: "Why, we are married; did'nt you know it?" She refused even to go to the table without my attendance, and when I was out visiting some patients, she waited for her meals till I came back.
Blake say?" returned I, a little taken back myself at this result of my efforts with Fanny. "O, I did'nt wait to hear. I did'nt wait for anything. If folks was going to talk about such things as that, I thought I had better be anywhere than listening at the keyhole. I went right up stairs I can tell you."
