"I tell you, when I see her come walkin' out towards the supper table with them fresh-ironed ruffles framin' in her face, I felt sort o' kitterin'-headed like my i-dees had fell over each other to get away from me. The shroud fit her pretty good, too, barrin' it was a mite long-skirted. An' somehow, it give her a look almost like dignity.
If we take up this position, that the things done are explanatory of the words uttered and reënforce them, then the sweeping which is acted by the Framin women again is not magical; it simply emphasises the words, "may they sweep their enemies off the face of the earth," and shows to the power appealed to what it is that is desired.
"Well then, why don't you find me a substitute? Suffering Cicero, has that inventive brain of yours gone into a coma!" "Not quite, sir," says I. "You don't happen to know a Mr. Schott, do you?" "Gr-r-r!" says Old Hickory, as gentle as a grizzly with a sore ear. "Get out!" I took the hint and trickled through the door. I was just framin' up something polite to feed Mr.

The brushes are quite as essential as the words.
"I might 'a' seen him this afternoon an' I might not," she said cautiously, looking at him from under a broad hat-brim. "When?" "I didn't see him after I got behind that 'How Many? sign. If I seen him must 'a' been before two." "Did he give you any hint of what was in the air?" "Say, what's the lay-out? Are you framin' Jim for up the river?" "I'm tryin' to save Kitty."
