"Wal, there's all kinds of fools," said Mr. Butters. "Got the teethache?" "Toothache? no! why?" "Thought you hollered as if ye had. How would you go to work to cure the teethache now, s'posin' you had it?" "I should go to a dentist, and let him cure it for me."
"Fleda," said Earl Douglass, putting his head in from the kitchen, and before he said any more, bobbing it frankly at Miss Evelyn, half in acknowledgment of her presence, and half, as it seemed, in apology for his own; "Fleda, will you let Barby pack up somethin' 'nother for the men's lunch? my wife would ha' done it, as she had ought to, if she wa'n't down with the teethache, and Catherine's away on a jig to Kenton, and the men wont do so much work on nothin', and I can't say nothin' to 'em if they don't; and I'd like to get that 'ere clover-field down afore night: it's goin' to be a fine spell o' weather.
"Dear children," said Miss Rose, "you are only little and young, to be sure, but you may as well learn that God never wants you to try to be miserable. He means you to be as merry and happy as you can be. Consider a minute. Have you ever been very unhappy when you have been good?" "No," said Edith. "I have," said Mabel, "when I've had the teethache." Miss Rose laughed.
That was ten years ago, and he's never had the teethache sence. He told me that himself." "It's a good story," said the young doctor. "Do you believe it, Mr. Butters?" "Wal, I do'no' as I exactly believe it; I was sort of illustratin' the different kinds of fools there was in the world, that's all." They were silent. The sun went down, but the light stayed in the young doctor's face.
"They is some o' th' old women as tells about love medicines as can make folks jist crazy fer one another," she said, as we walked away, rapidly. "Seems ter me 'twould be good enough if some o' them doctors found out some drug as worked t'other way. This bein' in love is harder'n the teethache, an' is enough ter make one feel like hopin' ter be an old maid." "Perhaps it does, Susie," I assented.
'This is a cruel thing that old age should be rheumaticky, said he. 'When I was young I stood my turn of the teethache like a man! for why? because it couldn't last for ever; but these rheumatics come to live and die with you. Your aunt was took before the time came; never had an ache to mention.

"He's neighbour to me, about five miles out on the Buffy Landin' ro'd. Yes, he had the teethache bad. Wife wanted him to go and have 'em hauled, but he said he wouldn't have no feller goin' fishin' in his mouth. No, sir! he went and he bored a hole in the northeast side of a beech-tree, and put in a hair of a yaller dawg, and then plugged up the hole with a pine plug.
"S'posin' you lived ten mile from a dentist, young feller? you're too used to settin' in the middle of creation and jerkin' the reins for the hoss to go. Jonas E. Homer had the teethache once, bad." He paused. "Well," said the young doctor, "who was Jonas E. Homer, and how did he cure his toothache?" "Jonas Elimelech was his full name," said Mr. Butters, settling himself comfortably in his chair.
