"Oh, how cross Josiah Allen did look as he heered me say these words. That man can't bear to hear me say one word a praisin' up another man, and it grows on him. But good land! I am a goin' to speak out my mind as long as my breath is spared.
Oh, he did the funniest thing once!" she clapped her hands and bent over merrily. "He was workin' himself up into an awful spree, but misplaced his demijohn an' had us lookin' everywhere for it.

"Behave, Phelim oh oh Phelim, now there you've tuck it och, the curse o' the crows on you, see the way you have my hair down! There now, you broke my comb, too. Troth, you're a wild slip, Phelim. I hope you won't be goin' on this way wid the girls, when you get married." "Is it me you coaxer? No, faith, I'll wear a pair of winkers, for fraid o' lookin' at them at all!
