"Now then, boy," he said kindly, "an areoplane dived down out o' the sky into your medder yisterday and picked up a homely, stupid girl and flew off with her." "She was an angel!" exclaimed the dwarf. His dull eyes brightened and looked away. "She was more beautiful than flowers." "She was, eh?" returned the grocer, and the crowd listened breathlessly.

It appears to me if I was a Bluenose I'd but thank fortin' I ain't, so I says nothin'; but there is somethin' that ain't altogether jist right is this country, that's a fact. "But what a country this Bay country is, isn't it? Look at that medder, bean't it lovely?

"Fam'ly pets, then, has a right to do as it is their nature for to do?" squealed Todd, working nearer. Mr. Bickford scornfully turned his back on this vulgar railer. The carriage was at hand.

I've seen a wanderin' iceberg, leastways I've come mighty near one, but I ain't ever heard it.
"The husky, rusty russel of the tossels of the corn, And the raspin' of the tangled leaves, as golden as the morn; The stubble in the furries kindo' lonesome-like, but still A-preachin' sermuns to us of the barns they growed to fill; The strawstack in the medder, and the reaper in the shed; The hosses in theyr stalls below the clover overhead!

"Have a good time down in the medder?" he asked presently. "He told me you was fishing." "Oh, yes, and we caught some whoppers too. They'll be good to eat, I'm sure." "Yes, I expect you'll like them."

"Where are your sons?" inquired Belle, wanting too do her share in the talk; but she waited until there came a lull in the storm. "Over in th' south medder, two miles away," replied the man.
