I don't care if they did hear me, I wuz on the step mostly when I thought it, pretty loud. Wall, from Miss Bombus'es I went to Miss Petingill's. Miss Petingill is a awful high-headed creeter. She come to the door herself and she said, I must excuse her for answerin' the door herself. She never mistrusted that I knew her hired girl had left, and she wuz doin' her work herself.
All of a sudden the floor under me which looked solid as my kitchen floor begun to move back and forth with me and sideways and back, to and fro, fro and to, and I goin' with it, one foot goin' one way, and the other foot goin' somewhere else; but by a hurculaneum effort I kep' my equilebrium upright, and made out to git on solid floorin'. But a high-headed female in a hobble skirt, the hobbles hamperin her, fell prostrate.
I looked out of the window, and saw an old-fashioned rockaway draw up beside the curbing. The horse which drew it was a high-headed bay; the harness and the vehicle were spotless. A negro lad of near twenty, black as the night before creation, sat on the front seat, and on the rear seat was a man worth looking at twice.
That was Virginia, high-headed and patrician, but kind to lame dogs and lost cats. She had invited in the children but he, Wiley Holman, who had loved her since she was a child, had been permitted to pass unnoticed. He wandered about uneasily, then went back to his office and began to run over his accounts.
And Mary Warren, broken-hearted, high-headed, silent, turned to the remaining routine of the day. Annie busied herself at the little box behind the stove a box with a flap of white cloth, which served as cupboard. Here she found a coffee pot, a half loaf of bread, some tinned goods, a pair of apples.
He almost forgave her high-headed mother. Alice bore away with her a long and tragic letter which she did not think it necessary to confide to her mother at this time, in view of the fact that the writer declared that in his present condition he felt bound to recognize her mother's right to deny his request to see her; but that he meant to achieve such success that she would withdraw her prohibition, and to return some day and lay at her feet the highest honors life could give.
"Thank fortune, I have always kept the law." And they said the same thought wus a great comfort to him in his last moments. He died about a year after she did, leaving his 2nd wife with twins and a good property. Then, there was Abagail Burpy. She married a sort of a high-headed man, though one that paid his debts, and was truthful, and considerable good- lookin', and played well on the fiddle.
Of course all things were now ready for a decapitation, but judge of the surprise of the brother, when the good sister showed herself not to be very "high-headed," though big-bonneted, by offering the offensive article to her accuser, to manipulate into orthodox form, if he were pleased to do so, otherwise it would have to remain, like Mordecai at the King's gate, steadfast and immovable.
But at the last minute, Josiah Allen said "he couldn't go." I says "Why can't you go?" "Oh," he says, kinder drawin' up his collar, and smoothin' down his vest, "Oh, I have got another engagement." He looked real high-headed, and I says to him: "Josiah Allen didn't you promise Druzilla Balch that you would go with her and Ezra to-day?" "Wall yes," says he, "but I can't." "Why not?" says I.
