There's a gin'ral complaint heer that Mivins has bin eatin' the shuger in the pantry, an' that's wot's makin' it needfull to put us on short allowance.

It's gin'rally expected, howsever, that the guvermint won't trubble its hed with the matter.

"Marse Harry bin havin' his ole trubble, sah, and bin engaged just dis momen' on his toylet; ef yo'll accommodate yo'self on de sofa, I inform him yo' is heah."

Seemed like it kind uv exalted an' purified Bill's nachur to git drunk an' git over it. Bill c'u'd drink more likker 'nd be sorrier for it than any other man in seven States.
