"I see that you don't want to receive our little messengers," he cried. "Why have you dropped back to third place in the line, Braxton Wyatt and Walter Butler, when you were first only a moment ago?

The minute she got back to ow house and O, John, it jest seems to me like her livin' with us ever since Widewood was divided up has been a plumb providence!
"And how long does the preacher calculate to stay?" she added, returning to business details. "Only a day. They'll have his house fixed up and ready for him to-morrow.
