And Deacon Henzy was to carry it with care to a old male Deacon in Zoar, bed rid. Wall, as I say, that is the very first I had read about their bein' any idee promulgated of wimmens settin' up on the Conference. And I, in spite of Josiah Allen's excitement, wuz in favor on't from the very first.
I wished that sister Henzy could see it, and told Josiah so. And he sez with a satisfied look, "Wait till I describe it to 'em, Samantha. They'd ruther have me describe it to 'em than see it themselves." I doubted it some, but didn't contend. The breakfast wuz a good one, though I should have called it dinner to home.
I said it seemed queer, but Arvilly said that it wuzn't queer at all. She sez: "One of my letters from home to-day had a worse case in it than that." Sez she, "You remember Willie Henzy, Deacon Henzy's grandchild, in Brooklyn. You know how he got run over and killed by a trolley car." "Yes," sez I, "sweet little creeter; Sister Henzy told me about it with the tears runnin' down her cheeks.
I hain't goin' to make no insinuations about their doin's though sister Henzy has approached me on the subject time and agin, she hain't so clost mouthed as I am. But I will merely say that when they got back their two breaths didn't smell as two deacon's breaths ort to smell. But I didn't say nothin' about it outside and shan't, I use tack.
I wuz jest a turnin' this over in my mind, and a carryin' away their things, when I glanced out of the settin' room winder, and lo, and behold! there wuz Abi Adsit a comin' up to the front door, and right behind her wuz her Pa and Ma Adsit, and Deacon Henzy and his wife, and Miss Henn and Metilda, and Lute Pitkins and his wife, and Miss Petengill, and Deacon Sypher and Drusilly, and Submit Tewksbury a hull string of 'em as long as a procession.
And then there wuz movin' platforms and sidewalks. The idee! What would Submit and Miss Henzy say to go out from our house and stand stun-still on the side of the road and be moved over to Miss Solomon Corkses! Oh, my soul, oh, my soul, think on't! And there wuz what they called a gravity road. And I asked Josiah "what he spozed that wuz?" and he said,
One or two of the weaker brethren joined in with him, and talked kinder deprestin' about it. But Deacon Sypher and Deacon Henzy said they would guard his interests with eagle visions, or somethin' to that effect, and they counselled Josiah warmly that it wuz his duty to go.
He had gone to his place wherever it wuz, and it didn't make any difference to him where the outgrown garment of his body wuz. But to resoom: The Cathedral is quite a noble lookin' edifice, built so I hearn, on the spot where a temple once stood where they worshipped Diana; not Diana Henzy, Deacon Henzy's sister.
And all the other male bretheren said the same thing they had got to git to get home to get to work. But some on 'em did have lots of work on their hands, I couldn't dispute it. Why, Deacon Henzy, besides all his cares about the buzz saw mill, and his farm work, had bought a steam threshin' machine that made him sights of work. It was a good machine.
We hearn afterwards that Deacon Sypher and Deacon Henzy wanted to go into the North Woods a-fishin' and a-huntin' for 2 or 3 days, and it has always been spozed by me that that accounted for their religeus advice to Josiah Allen. Howsumever, I don't know that.
