I was too agitated, and wrought up; and I says agin, in tones witherin' enough to wither him, "The idee of sellin' me a feller!" But the chap didn't look withered a mite: he stood there firm and immovible, and says he, "I didn't mean no offense, mom.

"If there wus ever a saint on earth, it is Elburtus Smith Gansey;" and says I, "If you try to vote for anybody else, I'll know the reason why." "Wall, wall! who said I wus a goin' to?
