"'Elspie, s'I, stern, 'ain't you no feelin', s'I, 'for the loss o' the only home you've got to your back? "'Oh, I donno, s'she, an' I could see her smilin' in that bright light, 'oh, I donno. It'll be some place to come to, afterwards. When I go out walkin', s'she, 'I ain't no place to head for. I sort o' circle 'round an' come back.

I lay it never sawed ITSELF off, s'I somebody SAWED it, s'I; that's my opinion, take it or leave it, it mayn't be no 'count, s'I, but sich as 't is, it's my opinion, s'I, 'n' if any body k'n start a better one, s'I, let him DO it, s'I, that's all.

But mark my words, Eva Payne, s'I, 'Hugo Canning'll be back. Fact," said Willie, grinning cordially. "Funny how I knew. And don't forget, Carlisle, m'dear, 'twas your Uncle Cosmo did it all! Hey? Remember that tea in my apartments? Always keep a spare room ready for Uncle Cosmo, and, by gad, I'll come and spend my summers with you." And later, Eva Payne, the once far unattainable, asked Mrs.
