"Waul, I guess he had a mind to know," said Philetus; "so I didn't keep it no closer than I had teu." "Well," said Fleda, biting her lips, "you will have to go down to Mr. Douglass's, nevertheless, Philetus, and tell him the doctor is coming to-morrow, but I should be very much obliged to him if he will be here next day. Will you?" "Yes, marm!"
Skillcorn was rendering a somewhat inefficient help, or, perhaps, amusing himself with seeing how she worked. The little old silver-grey hood was bending down over the strawberries, and the fork was going at a very energetic rate. "Philetus " "Marm!"

"I have went all over town," said the person addressed, "and they ain't no place." "Have you asked news of them, Philetus?"
