And bein' kinder mad, he snapped out, "Them wimmen don't look as if they knew much more than monkeys; compared to American wimmen, it's a sight." But I sez, "You can't always tell by looks, Josiah Allen." Sez I, "As small as they be, they've showed some of the greatest qualities since they've been here Constancy, Fidelity, Love." Now one of them females lost a baby while she wuz here.
And as for me, if I wuz to be made to tell at the pint of the sword what I thought wuz the very best and most glorious product of the World's Columbian Fair, I would say I thought it wuz these orations, and debates, by the brightest men and wimmen on earth, congregated at Columbuses doin's.
Evidently he had no doubt that he could force her to tell. "Let's rustle," cried Frank, his dark face gleaming. "We want to git out of this country quick." "You bet! An' I wonder when we'll be fetchin' up with them railroad camps we heerd about ... Camps full of gold an' whisky an' wimmen!" "We've enough on our hands now," replied Frank. "Let's rustle fer thet " A gun-shot interrupted him.
"Wall, you see, Cicely," says Josiah in a soft tone, his love for her softenin' and smoothin' out his axent till it sounded almost foolish and meachin', "you see, it would be dangerous for wimmen to vote, because votin' would be apt to lower wimmen in the opinion of us men and the public generally. In fact, it would be apt to lower wimmen down to mingle in a lower class.
"It ain't that I believe any such thing, Cap'n Sproul," he declared at last, breaking an embarrassing silence. "But here's them wimmen takin' up them San Francisco scandals to study in their Current Events Club, and when the officers here don't act when complaint is made about a hell-hole right here in town, talk starts, and it ain't complimentary talk, either.
Probably the charge was too heavy, for the gun "kicked," and Andy, to his astonishment, found himself lying flat on his back on the floor, with the gun lying beside him. "Oh, murder!" ejaculated the bewildered boy, "is it dead I am? Shure, the divil's in the gun. What will the ould wimmen say? They'll think it's bloody burglars gettin' into the house.
I see all through this buildin' that there wuz more wimmen than men there which shows what interest wimmen takes in solid things as well as ornimental. And after we went through Machinery Hall we went through the machine shops, at a pretty good jog, and the power-house, where there is the biggest engine in the world 24,000 horse power.

But she called me back and sez she: "I want to give you one word of solemn warnin' before we part," and I stopped stun still and listened. "I don't know," sez she, "as you'll ever be a queen."
"Wimmen ha'n't got no sense o' spoort," says he, sticking his hands in his breeches pockets; an' off he goes to hook fish, an' comes swaggerin' back to be taken, catch an' all, by a young 'ooman that has been sayin' naught but markin' him down all the time. Spoort? This world, doctor, is made up of hooks an' eyes: an' you reckon do 'ee the best spoort goes to the hooks?
You'll say that was like MY own case, and mebbe that was why it came to him to tell me about it, but the difference betwixt HIM and ME was that instead of restin' unto the Lord and findin' Him, and pluckin' out the eye that offended him 'cordin' to Scripter, as I did, HE followed after HER tryin' to get her back, until, findin' that wasn't no use, he took a big disgust and came up here to hide hisself, where there wasn't no playhouse nor play-actors, and no wimmen but Injin squaws.
