So long as things went his way he was a prince, right there with the jolly haw-haw, fond of callin' wifey pet names before strangers, and posin' as an easy mark, but let anybody try to pull off any programme that didn't jibe with his, and black clouds rolled up sudden in the West. "I do hope," goes on Ferdie, "that nothing of that sort occurs while we are here."
Then changing his tone and glancing toward his wife: "And how is my dear little wifey by this time?" tenderly patting Mrs. R.'s white hand, which belonged to a woman tipping the beam at two hundred. "Aren't you glad we came? I am." Then rattling on without giving his wife a chance to speak, for her eyes had filled with tears: "I think I've got a 'case' already.
Therefore, when he submitted his hand to the grip of Mr. Frump, his face expressed a strangely mingled joy and regret. "I like you," said Mr. Frump, "and, as soon as wifey and I commence housekeepin' agin, I'll expect lots o' visits from you. Whenever I'm not at home, wifey'll make everything comfortable. Won't you, dear?" "If you wish it," replied Mrs.
He put his arm about her shoulder while he condescended to Kennicott, "Nice lil wifey, I'll say, doc," and when she answered, not warmly, "Thank you very much for the imprimatur," he blew on her neck, and did not know that he had been insulted. He was a layer-on of hands. He never came to the house without trying to paw her. He touched her arm, let his fist brush her side.
"Oh, really " began Truesdale, with a flush and a frown. He glanced over his shoulder; his mother and sisters were in animated converse on the other side of the room. "Yes," his aunt proceeded; "you are old enough to think about marrying.

On June 1st a Friend showed him how, by making two Changes and hiring a Canoe, he could penetrate the Deep Woods, where the Foot of Man had never Trod and the Black Bass came to the Surface and begged to be taken out. On June 15th he and Wifey packed up and did the annual Hike up to Uncle Foster's Place in Brown County, where they ate with the Hired Hand and had Greens three times a Day.
"I say, wifey" and the great, handsome fellow came close up to me with his mud and his burs "do you think it's exactly fair, when a fellow's been out all the morning shooting ducks for your dinner, to make him stand out on the gallery such a day as this and scrub the mud off his frozen hands?" "That's the way mother did," was all my answer. "Look here, Lulie, I cry quits.
The letter written by me a day or two ago, which will probably reach you along with this, informs you that we are all well at home, and it contains as much neighborhood gossip as Wifey was able to think of at the hour of my writing, along with considerable instruction about certain points in sightseeing.
"I'd be pleased to have you come to " "I told the little wifey last night, 'Angel Face, I've found a pair of goo-goos that are a close runner-up to yours." Miss Schump turned to her first customer of the day, the flush receding as suddenly as it had come to scorch. "Copper toes for the little boy? Just be seated, please."
One is to tell you all the news before he has a chance. And I will begin at once. Thaxton has gone home, and opened a studio in New York. The Colossus has grown two more inches and hates to hear me mention the freak museums in the Bowery. Carleton is a hubby, and wifey is English and captivating.
