Joe had been there for sometime, and he and the Widder Pool wuz a-settin' together readin' a him out of one book. Jenette looked kinder mauger, and Trueman's wife looked haughtily at her, from over the top of the him book. Mother Charnick had a woosted work-bag on her arm. There might have been a night gown in it, and there might not. It wuz big enough to hold one, and it looked sort o' bulgy.
Trueman's fondest hope next to the one that at some distant day, say ten or fifteen years in the future, he may sit in the United States Senate is that this man's daughter, Ethel Purdy, renowned in more than one city for her beauty, may become his wife. Indeed, the hope of the Senate and of Ethel go hand in hand.
Gorman Purdy at first is highly elated over the result of the sheriff's summary action against the miners. "It has taught the miners a good lesson," he asserts openly. The morning after the Grand Jury returns its indictment, Purdy enters Harvey Trueman's office. The relationship between Purdy and Trueman is no longer strained. In three months time Harvey will marry Ethel.
So it wuz agreeable as anything ever wuz all around, if not agreeabler. Jest as quick as she got well enough to walk, and before he got out of his bed, Trueman's wife walked over to see Joe. And Joe's mother hatin' her so, wouldn't let her step her foot into the house. And Joe wuz glad on't, so they say.
And Trueman's wife bein' right by the stump, waved her wings and jumped too jest the same direction es he jumped.
Fairchild, and Betty came after with the basket. Before they came up to the gate of John Trueman's cottage, the children stopped to take the cake out of Betty's basket, and to cut shares of it for John's little ones. Whilst they were doing this, their father and mother had reached the cottage, and were sitting down at the door when they came up.
I am glad, Trueman's wife," sez I, "that He can look right down into our hearts, that He is right there in 'em a-knowin' all about us, all our wants, our joys, our despairs, our temptations, our resolves, our weakness, our blindness, our defects, our regrets, our remorse, our deepest hopes, our inspiration, our triumphs, our glorys.
And Miss Charnick showed her the hull 14 of 'em, all fat and flourishing they wuz well took care of. And Miss Charnick looked down on 'em fondly, and sez: "I lay out to have a good chicken pie the day that Joe and Jenette are married." "Married!" sez Trueman's wife, in faint and horrified axcents. "Yes, they are goin' to be married jest as soon as my son gets well enough.
Wall, the mornin' of the 30th, after Josiah and me had eat our breakfast, I proceeded to mix up my bread. I had set the yeast overnight, and I wuz a mouldin' it out into tins when Trueman's wife come down-stairs with her robe over her arm. She wanted to iron it out and press the seams.
Howsumever," sez I, "I don't say but what that power is powerful, to the ones that have it, only I wuz merely observin' that it never wuz my way to lay speechless or holler much not that I consider hollerin' wrong, if you holler from principle, but I never seemed to have a call to." "You would be far better if you did," sez Trueman's wife, "far better. But you hain't good enough."
