Whit was a good-hearted boy, too, but full of the Old Scratch and as sot in his ways as his dad, and if Cap'n Cy wan't sot, then there ain't no sotness. 'You'll go to college and be a parson, says the Cap'n. 'I'll go to sea and be a sailor, same as you done, says Whit. And he did, too; run away one night, took the packet to Boston, and shipped aboard an Australian clipper.
My idee wuz to employ a first rate architect, but he sez: "I can tell you, Mom, if that plan is made I shall make it. There hain't an architect in the country that could begin with me in drawin' up this plan."

And I see that when he had that immovible sotness onto him, one extra meal wouldn't soften or molify him. No, I see plain I must make a more voyalent effort. And I made it.
