Stopped first at the doctor's an' sent him out, though I knowed't wouldn't do no good; Sonny wouldn't 'low him to tech it; but I sent him out anyway, to look at it, an', ef possible, console wife a little. Then I rid on to the rector's an' ast him to come out immejate an' baptize Sonny.
I told Isrul I'd set it in the stable door so's he could git that steer out o' the way immejate." The proposal to lay the mottoes aside was a master-stroke. The aggrieved wife had already begun to wipe her hands on her apron. Still, she would not seem too easily appeased. Thus she guarded her dignity. But even as she spoke she took the parcel from his hands. This was encouragement enough.
Of co'se it thess took him about ten minutes to bu'st all the little things his gran'ma give him to play with, 'n' then he nachelly called for the clock; 'n' when she wasn't forthcomin' immejate, why, he thess stiffened out in a spell. Of co'se we put the timepiece into his hands quick ez we could onclinch 'em, an' sent for you. But quick ez he see the clock, he come thoo.
So they broke up in a row, immejate, and Sonny went right along to Miss Kellogg's school down here at the cross-roads. She's a sort o' reformed teacher, I take it; an' she gets at her subtraction by a new route altogether like ez ef the first feller thet had any surplus went sort o security for them thet was short, an' passed the loan down the line.
Then Sonny seein' it was all over, why, HE COME DOWN. He was wet ez a drownded rat, but wife rubbed him off an' give him some hot tea an' he come a-snuggin' up in my lap, thess ez sweet a child ez you ever see in yo' life, an' I talked to him ez fatherly ez I could, told him we was all 'Piscopals now, an' soon ez his little foot got well I was goin' to take him out to Sunday-school to tote a banner all his little 'Piscopal friends totes banners an' thet he could pick out some purty candles for the altar, an' he 'lowed immejate thet he'd buy pink ones.
