Shakers was all goin kerslap to the Promist Land, and nobody want goin to stand at the gate to bar 'em out, if they did they'd git run over. The Shakers then danced and sung agin, and arter they was threw, one of 'em axed me what I thawt of it. Sez I, "What duz it siggerfy?" "What?" sez he. "Why this jumpin up and singin? This long weskit bizniss, and this anty-matrimony idee?
I went to sleep agin, and drempt of runnin orf with the pretty little Shakeresses mounted on my Californy Bar. I thawt the Bar insisted on steerin strate for my dooryard in Baldinsville and that Betsy Jane cum out and giv us a warm recepshun with a panfull of Bilin water. I was woke up arly by the Elder. He said refreshments was reddy for me down stairs.
I hated being dragged forward and talked at; it was bad enough though I had been made decent and clean scrubbed all over, and got my Soonday clothes on, but of course it would be worse for a lass anyway, and she was all anyhow, not expecting it. I ought to ha' known better; I thawt only o' my own feelings and not o' hers, and I'd beg her pardon a hundred times, but 'taint likely she'd forgive me.
"And that's the reason you are here!" sez I, larfin one of my silvery larfs. I thawt if he wanted to goak I'd giv him sum of my sparklin eppygrams. "Sir, you're inserlent. The plain question is, will you haul down the Star-Spangled Banner, and hist the Southern flag!" "Nary hist!" Those was my reply. "Your wax works and beests is then confisticated, & you air arrested as a Spy!"
"G'long, Smiler," the driver said, and the horse went forward. The man leaned forward and raised his lamp to Jack's face. "I thawt 'twasn't Jim Brown's voice. Who be'st thou?" "Jack Simpson; I live along wi' Bill Haden." "Ay, ay, I know'st, I knew thy father, a good sort he was too. Be'st thy first day doon the pit?" "Ay," Jack said. "Foind it dark and lonesome, eh? Thou'lt get used to it soon."
