"'Tain't nobody else dead, yit, as I knows on, but my two cousins is turrible low; one's got a hemrage on de lung an' de yuther's got a congestin' on de brain, an' I 'lows dey'll bofe drap off 'twix' now an' sun-up to-morra."

I shall set down my musings as if I was thinking aloud. I wonder, sais I to myself, whether Sophy and I shall be happy together, sposin' always, that she is willing to put her head into the yoke, for that's by no means sartain yet.

Suppose you just take this over to the ribbon counter and match it right now, it's just in the next aisle, and then you can bring it back to me." Arethusa went away joyfully, bearing the shawl.
