I know what I'm sayin', an' Miss Peggy knows what she's a-doin', an' that's more 'n I kin say for MOST women-folks." So Salt found himself in the lap of luxury and one week of it so transformed him that at the end of it poor Pepper would hardly have known his mate.
"What manner of man do you think I am that I'd let a pack of Tory scoundrels have my nephew?" "The woods won't be pleasant camping for your women-folks at this time of the year, Tom," came in threatening accents. "No," shouted the farmer. "You can't have him."

"Then, take my electric and bring the nearest parson. There's going to be a wedding right here." And I looked round the long salon, with everything draped for the summer departure. Joe whisked the cover off one chair, his man took off another. "I'll have the women-folks down in two minutes," he cried. Then to the man: "Get a move on you, Billy. Stir 'em up in the kitchen.
Darby; "it'll be the makin' o' him." Angy turned on Samuel with ruffled feathers. "He'll freeze ter death.
