And bein' one that loves truth, I told him that Dorlesky was middlin' disagreeable, and very humbly, but she needed her rights jest as much as if she was a dolly.
I knew I had a good many things to buy for my tower; and, though I wanted to obleege Dorlesky, I didn't feel like runnin' into any great expense for canvass. And then she broke off from that subject, and said "she wanted her rights, and wanted the Whiskey Ring broke up." And then she says, going back to the old subject agin, "I hear that Josiah Allen has political hopes: can I canvass him?"
I am sorry for Dorlesky, sorry for the hull wimmen race of the nation and for the men too. Lots of 'em are good creeters better than wimmen, some on 'em. They want to do jest about right, but don't exactly see the way to do it. In the old slavery times, some of the masters was more to be pitied than the slaves.
He is considerable taller than I am; and on that account, and a good many others, I felt like lookin' up to him. Wall, when I have got a hard job in front of me, I don't know any better way than to tackle it to once. So consequently I tackled it. I told James, that Dorlesky Burpy had sent two errents by me, and I had brought 'em from Jonesville on my tower.
He went accordin' to law; and the law of the United States don't approve of a man whippin' his wife enough to endanger her life it says it don't. He made every move of hisen lawful, and felt that Dorlesky hadn't ort to complain and feel hurt. But a good whippin' will make anybody feel hurt, law or no law. And then he parted with her, and got her property and her two little children.
And Dorlesky told me to tell you that she didn't ask the rights of a angel: she would be perfectly contented and proud if you would give her the rights of a dog the assured political rights of a yeller dog. She said 'yeller; and I am bound on doin' her errent jest as she wanted me to, word for word.
My land! talk about Dorlesky Burpy bein' disagreable he wus as disagreable as she is, any day. He was kinder tall, and looked out of his eyes, and wore a vest: I don't know as I can describe him any more close than that. He was some bald-headed, and he kinder smiled once in a while: I persume he will be known by this description. It is plain, anyway, almost lucid.
And I wonder if there is a mother in the land, that can blame Dorlesky for gettin' mad, and wantin' her rights, and wantin' the Whisky Ring broke up, when they think it over, how she has been fooled round with by men, willed away, and whipped and parted with and stole from. Why, they can't blame her for feelin' fairly savage about 'em and she duz.
It is a conundrum as boundless as truth and God's justice, and as solemnly deep in its sure consequences of evil as eternity, and as sure to come as that is. Agin I says, "Where is that Ring a drawin' the United States? Where is it a drawin' Dorlesky?" "Oh! Dorlesky!" says he, a comin' up out of his deep reveryin', but polite, a politer demeanerd, gentlemanly appeariner man I don't want to see.
Now, Dorlesky is disagreable, and kinder fierce actin', and jest as humbly as they make wimmen; but that hain't no sign she ort to be imposed upon. Josiah says, 'She hadn't ort to have a right, not a single right, because she is so humbly. But I don't feel so." "Who is Josiah?" says he. Says I, "My husband." "Ah! your husband! yes, wimmen should have husbands instead of rights.
