"Leave out the well, and all will be well," said Melindy, spitefully. "Melindy Jane Thrasher, you are a gettin' too cute for anything. That was the cutest sayin' I've heerd for a long time. If you stay in town much longer you will be able to talk with any of them lawyers that's around as thick as thieves."
"Miss Verne," said the latter on being seated, "I have called this evening to convey a message from Mr. Spriggins." "Was he in the city to-day and gone back without calling? Well that is too bad, for I had a message to send to Melindy; there now, that reminds me of the Christmas cards."
Lawson wa'nt a lawyer I'd a-tried to say somethin', but I can't get a word out nohow, only Melindy and me will never forgit your kindness and the skeare." The applause that followed was long and loud, and as the good host made a hasty exit from the room, Marguerite did not fail to see the big tear that rolled down the sunburnt cheeks.
"Thunder! what's that purty thing a-hangin' out in front of that 'ere stoppin' place? Look Melindy." "Why you goosey, that is the Royal Hotel light the electric light." Melindy pronounced the three words with an air of pride, which indeed seemed to say "please bear in mind that I am no ignoramus."
