Oh yes, we want you to choose between Artaxerxes and the Sofy. But the Rigdums are the eldest pair of guinea-pigs. They are so fond of me, that I know poor old Funnidos will die of grief if I go away and leave him. 'I sincerely hope not, Valetta, for, indeed, there is no place to put him in.
The stockmen tramped out, making violent efforts to be noiseless. "Whisht, can't y'?" said Murty, indignantly, as Dave cannoned into a chair in the hall. "Have y' not got anny manners at all, thin, Davy? wid' him lyin' there, an' good luck to him! Did y' see how he made us put his sofy in that square little winder?" "Why?" asked the slower Mr. Boone.
"I don't know," said Barney, quietly. "I didn't t'ink so before." "Before? Before what? When?" I asked. "Whin you was writin' shtories about ut, sorr," said Barney, respectfully. "You've had a black horse-hair sofy turn white in a single noight, sorr, for the soight of horror ut's witnessed.
"Married two weeks and I don't care whether it rains or whether it pours or how long I have to stand outdoors if I can be with you, Kid." The old woman hesitated until Mary's smile melted its way into her heart. Her lips trembled, and her watery blue eyes blinked. "Well," she began grumblingly, "thar's a little single bed in that shed-room thar for you ef he'll sleep in here on the sofy."

The sofy should be stood back against the wall, for dolly to be put to sleep on. And Queen Victoria she should go up on one nail, and Prince Halbert on the other.
Better lie down on my parlor sofy a while and git rested up nice, hadn't ye? many's the day I've lazied there, Lord knows, tryin' f'r to coddle my strength back." Varney regretfully declined the offer. In fact, he must be going at once, he said, as he had a rather important business engagement; and would Mr. Hackley kindly show him the quiet back-exit to the street and the outer world?
The sofy had begun it by scratchin' his face and he had scratched back with a shingle nail. The album had watched its chance and, when he stood beneath it, had jumped off a shelf on to his head. Suddenly he heard a voice calling him: "Little boy, come here," it said, and it was the voice of the what-not. "Just step up on this lower shelf," says the old what-not. "I want to show ye somethin'."
Then we went into the sitting-room and sat on the "sofy." Presently Bishey sauntered in, trying to look unconcerned and at ease, but he was so fidgety he couldn't sit down. But he told his story, and a dear one it is. It seems that back in New York State he and Miss Em'ly were "young uns" together.
"'So it come true, did it? says I. "'Um-hm, says she, bouncin' her head again. 'Inside of four year I traveled 'way over to South Eastboro 'most twelve mile to my Uncle Issy's fun'ral, and there I found that he'd left me nine hundred dollars for my very own. And down I flops on the parlor sofy and says I: "There! don't talk superstition to ME no more!
Kunz lay at her feet, the Sofy nestled in Gillian's lap, and there was a general sense of being rubbed down the right way.
