I sez, real solemn like, a-holdin' the sprig of parsley some like a septer, only more sort o' riz up like and mysteriouser. Yes, I held that green sprig some as the dove did when it couldn't find no rest for the soles of its feet no foundation under it and it sailed about seekin' some mount of truth it could settle down on. Oh how wobblin' and onsubstantial and curius I felt hearin' their talk.

Yes, Justice in the form of woman stood jest where she ort to stand right on top of the world. Justice and Woman has too long been crumpled down, and trod on. But she has got on top now, and I believe will stay there for some time. She holds a septer in her right hand, and in her left a pair of scales. But now they are held even, and Right will determine how the notches stand, not Might.
No; I think better of 'em; they are a-goin' to carry out the idee of that silver image in the gold of practical justice, I believe. If I hadn't thought so, I would a-histed up my umbrell and hit that septer of hern, and knocked that globe out from under her feet.
And I probable wuzn't so dressy as Miss Sheba, 'tennyrate I hadn't no crown or septer, a brown straw bunnet and umbrell meetin' my wants better, but not nigh so dashy lookin'. But my feelin's all come from the name of the place we wuz bound for, and the patriarchical, Biblical past my mind wuz rovin' round in. Yes, my mind wuz rousted up and runnin' on the trimmin's of the Ark and Temple.
They wouldn't of their own accord put a septer in her hand, if they laid out to keep her where she is now under the rule of the lowest criminal landed on our shores, and beneath niggers, and Injuns, and a-settin' on the same bench in a even row with idiots, lunaticks, and criminals.
You've wore it sensible and you've carried your septer stiddy, and for a young girl like you to do them things has seemed a great thing to me. A good many young girls would be carried away if they wuz in a place like yours; I am most afraid Tirzah Ann would at your age." "Tirzah Ann?" sez she inquirin'ly.
