"Wall," says I, "I will send the errent to him by Bub Smith; for I am wore out." As I wended, my way out of Mr. Blains'es, I met the hired man, Bub Smith's friend; and he asked me, "If I didn't want to visit the Capitol?" Says I, "Where the laws of the United States are made?" "Yes," says he. And I told him "that I was very weary, but I would fain behold it."
Says I, "I'll send Bub Smith to Senator Logan'ses the minute I get back; for much as I want to obleege a neighbor, I can't traipse all over Washington, walkin' afoot, and carryin' Dorlesky's errent. But Bub is trusty: I'll send him." And I riz up to go. He riz up too. He is a gentleman; and, as I said, I like his looks.
And I says, "I think myself that Dorlesky is a little onreasonable. I myself am willin' to wait till next week. But she has suffered dretfully from intemperance, dretfully from the Rings, and dretfully from want of Rights. And her sufferin's have made her more voyalent in her demands, and impatienter." And then I fairly groaned as I did the rest of the errent.
But my promise weighed on me, and Duty poked me in the side. I wus determined to do the errent jest as I would wish a errent done for me, from borryin' a drawin' of tea to tacklin' the nation, and tryin' to get a little mess of truth and justice out of it.
And says I with a real lot of dignity, "You needn't try to impose on me, or Dorlesky's errent, by tryin' to send me round amongst them old Scottish chiefs. I respect them old chiefs, and always did; and I don't relish any light talk about 'em." Says he, "This is another William Wallace; and very probable he can do the errent."
There wuz quite dubersome looks all round the room when she handed in the money and went right out, for she had a errent to the store. And Sister Gowdy spoke up and said she didn't exactly like to use money got in that way.

"I know it," says I. "I told Dorlesky it would. But she feels jest so, and I promised to do her errent; and I am a doin' it." Agin he rubbed his brow in deep thought, and agin he says, "I don't think Dorlesky is unreasonable in her demands, only in the length of time she has set." Says I, "That is jest what I told Dorlesky. I didn't believe you could do her errents this week.
Wall, after dinner I sot sail for James G. Blains'es, a walkin' afoot, and carryin' Dorlesky's errent. I was determined to do that errent before I slept. I am very obleegin', and am called so. When I got to Mr. Blaines'es, I was considerably tired; for though Dorlesky's errent might not be heavy as weighed by the steelyards, yet it was very hefty and wearin' on the moral feelin's.
The President, and lots of 'em, I knew would take it right to heart, and feel dretfully worked up and slighted, if I didn't call on 'em. And then, I had to carry Dorlesky's errent to the President anyway. And I thought I would tend to it right away, so I sot out in good season. When you are a noticin' anybody, and makin' 'em perfectly happy, you feel well yourself.
