There's not so much going on in the way of public amusements, and so people make more of one another. There are not so many concerts, theatres, operas " "Oh, they've got a splendid opera-house in Moffitt. It's just grand," said Miss Mela. "Have you been to the opera here, this winter?" Mrs. March asked of the elder girl.
He had once respected himself for the hard-headed, practical common sense which first gave him standing among his country neighbors; which made him supervisor, school trustee, justice of the peace, county commissioner, secretary of the Moffitt County Agricultural Society.
Anybody that's a mind to come to Moffitt and start any kind of manufacture can have all the gas he wants free; and for fifteen dollars a year you can have all the gas you want to heat and light your private house.
Well, they've always known about the gas out there; they say there are places in the woods where it's been burning ever since the country was settled. "But when you come in sight of Moffitt my, oh, my! Well, you come in smell of it about as soon.
In those days he had served the public with disinterested zeal and proud ability; he used to write to the Lake Shore Farmer on agricultural topics; he took part in opposing, through the Moffitt papers, the legislative waste of the people's money; on the question of selling a local canal to the railroad company, which killed that fine old State work, and let the dry ditch grow up to grass, he might have gone to the Legislature, but he contented himself with defeating the Moffitt member who had voted for the job.

And you are all going to work a year editor, manager, publisher, artists, writers, printers, and the rest of 'em to clear twenty-five thousand dollars? I made that much in half a day in Moffitt once. I see it made in half a minute in Wall Street, sometimes." The old man presented this aspect of the case with a good-natured contempt, which included Fulkerson and his enthusiasm in an obvious liking.
Ever see Bernhardt in 'L'Etrangere'? Well, the American husband is old Dryfoos all over; no mustache; and hay-colored chin-whiskers cut slanting froze the corners of his mouth. He cocked his little gray eyes at me, and says he: 'Yes, young man; my name is Dryfoos, and I'm from Moffitt.
