Why, he'll step across to the linen-cupboard here, wi' the hot pipes behind it, an' there's a clean shirt dried an' warmed to his skin. He gets into that the day bein' Sunday, as we'll suppose an' finishes his dressin', danderin' forth an' back from one room to t'other; breakfast gettin' ready downstairs an' no hurry for it all his time his own, clean away to sundown.
Pet wasn't in the habit of humming tunes; and, the servant thought that rather 'spicious. So do I not of any wrong, mind you. I wouldn't believe that till it was proved. But, to make a long story short, here is the note that poor Pet left on my dressin' table. Read it. I I haven't got my spectacles." The truth was, that Mrs.
And I know that if he wanted to set down some news, they had to kill a sheep, and spend several years a dressin' off the hide into parchment and kill a goose, or chase it up till they wuz beat out, for a goose-quill.
The scurvey opens old sores, and makes them bleed afresh, and an unfeeling fellow does the same. Whatever else I may be, I am not that man, thank fortune. Indeed, I am rather a dab at dressin' bodily ones, and I won't turn my back in that line, with some simples I know of, on any doctor that ever trod in shoe-leather, with all his compounds, phials, and stipties.

I'se got too many spring chickens to dress to think 'bout dressin' you up again."

Them tossels and red palm leaves on yeller ground that had so lately been the light of his eyes and desire of his heart?
But he will be if he ain't fetched up pretty sudden. 'Course, I know what he needs is to be made to mind fust, and then preached to afterwards. And I know that nat'rally I'm the one that ought to do it, but I jest can't there!
