Mrs. Tobin was now convinced that she was being deceived, and that her husband and son were in league against her. She wheeled upon the captain. "I want you to come right home with me, Sam'l. This is a very serious matter, and I need Flo's advice.
I declare, I'm more pleased than I calc'lated on. An' I expected till lately to die a single man!" "'T would re'lly have been a shame; 't ain't natur'," said Mrs. Tobin, with confidence.

"There's nobody can fill his place," said the widow. "I do' know but I can fight for ye town-meetin' days, on a pinch," urged Jefferson boldly. "I never see the beat o' you men fur conceit," and Mrs. Tobin laughed.
"I have heard of another road," continued Conductor Tobin, "now being built somewhere in Europe, Austria I believe, over which they propose to run trains at the rate of one hundred and twenty-five miles an hour."
