"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.
And Barbara's meek, faded old eyes glared at the little old lady in the corner, if meek, faded blue eyes could glare. "Never mind her grammar, Lodema Ann. Why didn't you hear what they said? What was you doin' in the hall if you wasn't listenin'?" "I told you I was just passin' through and Mis' Smith called me in." "Don't you know nothin' about it nothin'!" "Nothin'. I've told you all I know.
Wall, the very next mornin' Lodema marched down like a grenideer, and ordered Josiah to take her to the train. And she eat breakfast with her things on, and went away immegiately after, and hain't been back here sense. And I wuz truly glad to see her go, but wuz sorry she went in such a way, and I tell Josiah he wuz to blame, But he acts as innocent as you pleese.
Wouldn't it have been both surprisin' and profitable?" And sez he, "I told 'em expressly to bring diamonds if they had more than they wanted. I charged old Bobbet and Lute Pitkins specially on the subject. I didn't want 'em to scrimp themselves; but," sez I, "if you have got more diamonds than you want, Lute, bring over a few to Lodema."
At the same time, if you hunt all day for faults you will come in at night with sights of pelts. You will find what you hunt for, track 'em right along and chase 'em down. Wall, Lodema never got led away from her perticuler chase. She just hunted faults from mornin' till night, and done well at it. She brought in sights of skins.
"A week!" sez I; "Josiah Allen, where is your conscience? if you have got a conscience." "In the same old place," sez he, kinder hittin' himself in the pit of his stomach. "Wall, I should think as much," sez I. And Lodema sez, sez she: "A man that won't tell things is of all creeters that walks the earth the most disagreeable.
And oh! my heart! wuz not my sufferin's with Lodema Trumble, a hard plow and a harrowin' one, and one that turned up deep furrows? But of this, more anon and bimeby. Wall, it wuz on the very next day on a Thursday as I remember well, for I wuz a-thinkin' why didn't Lodema's letter come the next day Fridays bein' considered onlucky and it being a day for punishments, hangin's, and so forth.
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."
Wall, I wuz goin' to have some scolloped oysters for supper, so the first thing I did wuz to put 'em into the oven they wuz all ready, I had scolloped 'em before Josiah come, and got 'em all ready for the oven and then I set down and read my letters. Wall, the first one I opened wuz from Lodema Trumble, Josiah's cousin on his own side.
Every other man seemed to be a-holdin' off, not willin' seemin'ly that she should have one, and I jest thought I would happify her with one." "Wall, why didn't you make her a silver one, or a tin?" sez I. "Or a paper one!" screamed Lodema, who had riz up out of her almost faintin' condition. "That would have been much more appropriate," sez she.
