And it bein' dark and the puddle a deep one he floundered round in it till he looked more like a drownded rat than a human bein'. He never could bear basks from that hour till this, and he has always dated his rumatiz from that time, but it hain't so; he had it before. But 'tennyrate he wouldn't take the mud baths at Carlsbad, nor none of us did but Miss Meechim.
And we both have got rumatiz for life, a-layin' round out-doors. It is dangerous at our time of life," sez she. "What made you do it, Drusilla?" sez I. "Wall," she said, "the Deacon wanted to; he thought he couldn't afford to board in a house; and you know," sez Drusilla, "that the Deacon is a man of most splendid judgment." "Not in this case," sez I.
Dorothy and Robert Strong and Miss Meechim went and see it by moonlight, and they say that it wuz a more beautiful sight than words can describe. But I bein' a little afraid of the rumatiz, thought that I had better go by broad daylight, and Josiah did, too.
And oh how I do want to be here to see it, but don't spoze Josiah and I can live a thousand years, no matter how much patent medicine we take, specially as we both have the rumatiz bad, but oh how I would love to. "Brother Meesick thinks this is goin' to be a war of the yellow races agin the whites.
And he bein' tired out, worried a sight about the rain and the suddenness on't and how it stopped his sight-seein' and brung on his rumatiz, and he complained of his corns and his tight boots, and said that I had ort to seen that he wuz dressed thicker, and fretted and acted. And I sez: "You've got to take things as they come, Josiah.
Some of these Moro girls are quite handsome in their bright striped mantillys, their long hair hanging down under their gay turbans. One of these villages is on land and one built on bamboo poles over the water. Jest open sheds covered with nipa leaves. Anyone with rumatiz couldn't stand it in 'em.
He begun jest as I put my potatoes on to bile, I wuz goin' to smash 'em with plenty of cream and butter; I hearn him till dinner wuz on the table, and I wuz turnin' out the rich, fragrant coffee and addin' the cream to it, and his praise on 'em wuz still flowin' in a stiddy stream, and then I asked him, in one of his short pauses for breath, how Grout Nickelson's rumatiz wuz.
"Diseased!" returned the old man; "Wal, she ain't anything else, for she's had the rumatiz orfully for six months!" Saying which, he took his hat and left, concluding that it was not worth while to "keep on investigating" any longer at that time. This same medium, not long since, visited Great Britain for the purpose of practicing his profession there.
I looked down pityin'ly on him as he stood a few steps below me on the flight o' stairs a-leadin' down to the water's edge. I leaned hard on my faithful old umbrell, for I had a touch of rumatiz that day. And sez I, "Romance, Josiah, should be looked at with the bright eyes of youth, not through spectacles No. 12."
It wuz a queer time, but very riz up and enjoyable in spite of some little sharp twinges that come anon or oftener, which might have been conscience, but which I tried to lay off onto rumatiz. Two wimmen wuz talkin' near us, sez one of 'em, "There he goes agin, see him prancin' round."
