We stopped at the post-office, and Tommy run in and got three letters for me, two on 'em which I opened and read when I first got home, whilst Josiah and Tommy drove over to Deacon Henzy's on a errent. As I say I read two on 'em, but of the third one more anon.
And Sister Henzy's mother, old Miss Balch, she is eighty-three years old, and has inflamatery rheumatiz in her hands, which makes 'em all swelled up and painful. But Miss Henzy said a neighbor had offered her five dollars fer the three pairs, and so she felt it wuz her duty to knit 'em, to help the fair along. She is a very strong Methodist, and loved to forwerd the interests of Zion.
And by the time that she that wuz Celestine got there she wuz almost in a fit, and the mair in a perfect lather. Wall, Celestine didn't get over it for weeks and weeks, nor the mair nuther. And besides this enterprize of Deacon Henzy's, he had got up a great invention, a new rat trap, that wuz peculier and uneek in the extreme.
And Tommy wonnered and wonnered that a little boy's life wuzn't worth more than a dollar. "Why," sez I, "the law gives twenty dollars for a two-year-old heifer." "Yes," sez Arvilly, "the law don't reckon Willie Henzy's life worth so much as a yearlin' calf or a dog.
