Go home and tell them to put you in a glass case. Look at me look at me look at me!" Mary executed a wild dance around the dismayed and bewildered Rilla, flirting her ragged skirt and vociferating "Look at me look at me" until poor Rilla was dizzy.

In the midst of this terror, I heard the well-known voice of the commander of the town, Colonel Jones, vociferating with all the energy and passion of a Welchman.
