"Allow me," said John, getting up and closing it. "May's well shut the other one while you're about it. Thank you," as John resumed his seat. "I hain't got nothin' very private, but I'm 'fraid of distractin' Timson's mind. Did he int'duce himself?" "Yes," said John, "we introduced ourselves and had a few minutes conversation." "Gin ye his hull hist'ry an' a few relations throwed in?"
"Wall," I said, "let it sweep!" He ceased me by the arm and said, "Let us glance at hist'ry. It is now some two thousand years " "Is it, indeed?" I replied. "Listin!" he fiercely cried; "it is only a little over two thousand years since " "Oh, bother!" I remarkt, "let us go out and git some beer." "No, Sir. I want no gross and sensual beer. I'll not move from this spot till I can vote.
"I ain't what ye might call an old residenter," said David, "though I was part raised on Buxton Hill, an' I ain't so well 'quainted with the nabobs; but Polly's lived in the village ever sence she got married, an' knows their fam'ly hist'ry, dam, an' sire, an' pedigree gen'ally.
They seemed to enjoy it, though, and the first thing I know I'm bein' put through a sort of highbrow third degree, the object being to show up what an empty loft I wear my pink thatch on.

One thing about this yacht-cruisin' act is how close a line you get on the people you're shut up with. Why, this cross-mated bunch of ours hadn't been out in the Agnes more'n three days before I could have told you the life hist'ry of 'most everyone in the party. I knew that the late Mr. Mumford had been a noble soul who wore full face lambrequins and was fussy about his food.

The canoe is goin' fast, but one or two canoes in the hist'ry o' the world hez gone ez fast! We must go faster by ten or fifteen miles an hour an' set the record that will stan'! It's so dark in here I can't see either bank, but I wish sometimes I could, warriors or no warriors!
Hist'ry never shows a game yet, an' a woman in it, which is on the squar', an' we meekly b'ars our burdens with the rest." "An' you can't schedoole too much good about him," remarked the Old Cattleman. Here he threw away the remnant of the principe, and, securing his pipe, beat the ashes there-out and carefully reloaded with cut plug. Inevitably the old gentleman must smoke.
But when he's all through it amounts to this: He needs the loan of a couple of hundred cash the worst way, and he wants to be put next to a few plutes that are in the market for new trolley franchises.
