Josiah and I got into one, he carryin' Tommy in his lap, but he sez with a groan: "I never spozed that I should git down to this, Samantha, to ride in a wheelbarrow. What would Ury say! I am glad he can't see it, or Deacon Henzy or any of the other Jonesville brothers and sistern." The furrin suburbs are laid out like a European city, with broad streets, well lighted and clean.
"I don't know what I've done," she remarked, "that I should have to live all the time with people who keep their noses in books. Your pa was forever readin' and you're marked with it. I could set here and set here and set here, and he took no more notice of me than if I was a piece of furniture. When he died, the brethren and sistern used to come to condole with me and say how I must miss him.
"Now, breddern and sistern, come up to de altar and have yo' sins washed away." All came up but one man. "Why, Brudder Jones, don't yo' want yo' sins washed away?" "I done had my sins washed away." "Yo' has? Where yo' had yo' sins washed away?" "Ober at de Methodist church." "Ah, Brudder Jones, yo' ain't been washed, yo' jes' been dry cleaned."
I wanted to invite all the brethern and sistern in the meetin'-house, but Philury thought she couldn't wait on 'em all, and we compromised on the plan of havin' 'em all here to a evenin' social the week after, when we'd pass round things and not have so many dishes to wash. I laid out to be dretful thankful Thanksgivin' day.

At his morning service he spoke to his church members thusly: "Bredern and sistern, things is not as should be. You 'must not 'spects I can preach on u'th an' boa'd in Heben."
