Here's a saddle. Just sit on it across this chair, and when the time comes we'll work it in all right. We'll have a real horse over in the lot." And thus Sam was taken straddling a chair.

Wa'al, I got down to the lot an' set to work; but somehow I couldn't git that show out o' my head nohow. As I said, I hadn't no more notion of goin' to that cirkis 'n I had of kingdom come.
As you remind me, if I leave Homeville I shall not go almost penniless as I came, but I shall leave with great regret, and, indeed Ah, well " he broke off with a wave of his hands. "What was you goin' to say?" asked David, after a moment, his eyes on the horizon. "I can't say very much more," replied the young man, "than that I am very sorry.
But it was only one of the gardeners, who did not understand English; and confidence being once more restored, they fell to discussing everything. "Do you think you could live in Homeville, dear?" asked John after a while. "I suppose I shall have to, shall I not?" said Mary. "And are you, too, really happy, John?"

The' was a cirkis billed to show down here in Homeville, an' ev'ry barn an' shed fer miles around had pictures stuck onto 'em of el'phants, an' rhinoceroses, an' ev'ry animul that went into the ark; an' girls ridin' bareback an' jumpin' through hoops, an' fellers ridin' bareback an' turnin' summersets, an' doin' turnovers on swings; an' clowns gettin' hoss-whipped, an' ev'ry kind of a thing that could be pictered out; an' how the' was to be a grand percession at ten o'clock, 'ith golden chariots, an' scripteral allegories, an' the hull bus'nis; an' the gran' performance at two o'clock; admission twenty-five cents, children under twelve, at cetery, an' so forth.
