And he goes all over the arguments agin every time I take him to do about it. He sez "she wuz old enough to have a weddin' of some kind." And of course I can't dispute that, when he faces me right down, and sez: "Hain't she old enough?" And I'll say, kinder short "Why, I spoze so!" "Wall," sez he, "wouldn't it have been profitable to her if they had brought diamonds?
You see, she loved this young man; and when anyone like Faith loves it hain't for a week or a summer, but for life. He writ to her burnin' words of love and passion, for he loved her too in the old-fashioned way Adam did Eve no other woman round, you know. And the words he writ wuz, I spoze, enough to melt a slate stun, let alone a heart, tender and true.
And I spoze Sister Sypher wuz skairt almost into fits to hear Arvilly go on, 'tennyrate she left her sudden and to once, and started home 'cross lots almost on the run, and Arvilly come into the house talkin' and mutterin'.
It is a blessed break in the hard creakin' roll of the wheel of Labor, a needed rest needed in every way for tired and worn-out brain and muscle, soul and body; but I believe in telling the truth," sez he. He always wuz a very truthful boy born so, we spoze. Almost too truthful at times, his ma used to think.
As the snortin' and skornful actin' engine tore my body away from Jonesville, I sot nearly bathed in tears for some time till I wuz aware that little Tommy wuz weepin' also, frightened I spoze by his grandma's grief, and then I knew it wuz my duty to compose myself, and I summoned all my fortitude, put my handkerchief in my pocket, and give Tommy a cream cookey, which calmed his worst agony.
Havin' felt the swayin', jiggerin' motion of the cars so long, it wuz indeed a blessin' to set my foot on solid ground once more, and Tommy and I wuz soon ensconced in a cozy room, nigh Miss Meechim's sweet rooms. For she still insisted on callin' their rooms sweet, and I wouldn't argy with her, for I spoze they did seem sweet to her.
And now whilst the passengers are all settin' or standin' on their own forts and tendin' to their own bizness, and the big ship ploughin' its big liquid furrow on the water I may as well tell what Arvilly went through. I spoze the reader is anxious to know the petickulers of how she come to be in the Cuban army and desert from it.
And there wuz a billiard room for them that patronized Bill, though I never did nor Josiah, but wuz willin' that folks should act out their own naters. I spoze they played cards there, too. But Josiah and I didn't know one card from another; I couldn't tell Jack from the King to save my life.
And he himself told me so many stories about her bein' so good to the poor, and sacrificin' her little comforts for 'em at her age, too that I thought to myself, I wonder why you don't take some of them object lessons to heart why you don't set down at her feet, and learn of her and I wonder too where she took her sweet charity from, but spoze it wuz from her mother.
"Do you spoze a ma would set and let the child she loved throw himself into the fire because he got mad? No; she would haul him back, and the more he kicked and struggled the more she would hang on, and like as not spank him.
