That minister's chargin' me fifty cents an hour, and I don't know whether he's the real thing or not, at that. Con whispered in my ear that he worked in a grocery when he first struck town, dealt stud-poker for Johnny Early, quit that and took to school-teachin', then threw that up and preached. But what's the difference out here? He's expensive, anyhow, and all Con could find.
"Ten years o' school-teachin', an' house-work, an' sewin'!" cried he. "Yes, long before that you will be under the sod o' the grave-yard! You cannot send the boy to college." "Who, then?" smiling at his vehemence. "I will." "You, Mr. Chillis? I thought...." She checked herself, fearing to hurt his pride. "You thought I was poor, an' so I am, for I never tried to make money. I don't want money.
So she gave up school-teachin' and went out to tend her flock, and has shepherded ever since, an' done well." For William, this approached an oration. He spoke with enthusiasm, and I shared the triumph of the moment.

"Well, I wanted to be sure.
The other teachers, they makes a heap o' fun o' Miss Phoebe's way o' school-teachin', 'cause she lets the child'en ask all sorts of outlandish questions, an' make pictures in school hours, an' she don't requi' 'em to fold their arms in school, neither. Maybe she is foolin' their time away. I can't say ez I exac'ly see how she's a workin' it to edjercate 'em that a-way.
