And though Josiah squirmed some when I told him Lodema wuz approachin' and would be there that very night or the next day still the cloud wore away and melted off in the glowin' mellowness of the hot tea and cream, the delicious oysters and other good things. My pardner, though, as he often says, is not a epicack, still he duz enjoy good vittles dretful well and appreciates 'em.
Sez I, "Tirzah Ann, if you say a word to her, I'll I'll never put confidence in you agin;" sez I, "Life is full of tribulations, and we must expect to bear our crosses;" sez I, "The old martyrs went through more than Lodema." Sez Tirzah Ann, "I believe Lodema would have wore out John Rogers."
"I say it is high time for her to have some sort of a weddin'. Everybody is a havin' 'em tin, and silver and wooden, and basswood, and glass, and etc. and I thought it wuz a perfect shame that Lodema shouldn't have none of no kind and I thought I'd lay to, and surprise her with one.
She sort o' stopped to ketch breath, and Josiah sez: "Oh, wall, Lodema, a cheese cloth comforter is better than none, and I should think you would be jest the one to like any sort of a frame on legs."
These were attended with good results: a few got deliverance and were established in the whole truth. Some are true to God yet. One time while at my home, Sister Lodema Kaser and I went to a little town named Greenridge, about ten miles away; and, being solicited by some good honest souls to hold a meeting, we began services at that place.
Miss King lowered her chin as much as half an inch, and looked at me as if I were an exceeding commonplace, inanimate object that could not possibly interest her. Her aunt, Lodema King, was almost as bad, I think; I didn't notice particularly.
But she found fault with my vittles from mornin' till night, though I am called a excellent cook all over Jonesville, and all round the adjoining country, out as far as Loontown, and Zoar. It has come straight back to me by them that wouldn't lie. But it hain't made me vain. But I never cooked a thing that suited Lodema, not a single thing.
"Yes, this is my happy surprise for Lodema." I looked at Lodema Trumble. She looked strange. She had sunk back in her chair. I thought she wuz a-goin' to faint, and she told somebody the next day, "that she did almost lose her conscientiousness." "Why," sez I, "she hain't married." "Wall, she ort to be, if she hain't," sez he.
His letters were full of glowing accounts of the beautiful climate and the fine fruit, he thinking that would be an attraction to us. These attractions had no influence upon us. My brother George, Lodema Kaser, and I, who were then together holding a meeting, felt so strongly impressed of the Lord to accept the brother's invitation that we all thought we should go in a week or two.
"I say it is high time for her to have some sort of a weddin'. Everybody is a havin' 'em tin, and silver and wooden, and basswood, and glass, and etc. and I thought it wuz a perfect shame that Lodema shouldn't have none of no kind and I thought I'd lay to, and surprise her with one.
