You're the lightest on your feet, I says an' I sort o' shoved at her, bird to young, an' she jumped down in, not bein' able to help it. "'Here, s'I, flingin' her an end o' cloth, 'tack it 'round smooth to them boards. "'Mother o' God, says she, swallowin' in her breath. "But she done it.

He kept chokin' 'n' gaspin' 'n' purple 'n' swallowin', 'n' after a while I got up courage to ask him where Cousin Marion was. 'N' then oh, Mrs. Lathrop!
