There hain't no paymaster like Love: he pays the best wages, and the most satisfyin', of anybody I ever see.

It wuzn't any worriment and concern about the fate of Isabelle and her husband no; True Love wuz a-goin' out with 'em on their weddin' tower, and I knew if he went ahead of 'em, and they wuz a-walkin' in the light of his torch, their way wuz a-goin' to be a radiant and a satisfyin' one, whether it led up hill or down or over the deep waters yea, even over the swellin' of Jordan.
