S'pose, while we've been searchin' fer her high an' low, Foley an' the galoot what whacked me jest took the little girl an' carried her off in my boat? That 'ere story 'bout Dennis Foley buyin' a ticket for Philadelphy struck me as fishy when I fust heerd it, an' now I don't believe it a t'all.
Most of the men that camp with me are like Injuns, anyway they wouldn't feel natural without bugs a ticklin' 'em. No, child, you get ready and pull out on the Sulphur stage to-morrow. I'll pay your way back to Philadelphy." "I can't leave you now, mother. Now that I know you're ill, I'm going to stay and take care of you." Lize rose.

"Didn't you order two pounds of alum the last trip Tom made?

"I heard from one of my sisters while I was gone. She's in Philadelphy married to a feller there that works in the carpet mills. I ain't seen her for more 'n ten years might stop in Philadelphy, too."
On the instant he liked the red, wholesome face, and the keen, round, blue eyes, the rather opulent figure, the shrewd, whimsical smile, all aglow now with beaming sentimentality, which had from its softest corner called out: "Well, give my love to the girls." "Quaker, or I never saw Germantown and Philadelphy," he continued, with a friendly manner quite without offence.
