"Well, they's some compersations in bein' black," chuckled Aunt Em'ly. "I ain't never had ter kiss Miss Ann yit." "How do you do, cousins?" and Miss Peyton again stooped from her loftiness and pecked first one girl and then the other.
"I shall have, I should think, more wives and children than you," said the second. "But I am the eldest," said the third. They all now grew passionate; they beat each other with their wings, pecked with their beaks, when, plump! one after the other was tumbled out of the nest.

But Sam pecked a grain of corn out of my mouth this mornin' and never teched a tooth. That's what they call art, ain't it? Come out with me." "Limuel, let him stay with me, won't you?" his wife pleaded.
