Sez I, "Who told you it didn't? I hain't hearn on't. Earth hain't no furder from Heaven now than it wuz then, and the same God reigns." "Amen," sez the pepper-and-salt man, I see he had zeal and religion, but I felt kinder flustrated to be "amened" to in public, and I looked kinder meachin' I spoze, and the calm woman see I did.
To think that he loved his mother's memory so well as to be so kind for her sake, for the sake of a fleetin' likeness, to be so good to another female. But Josiah Allen looked meachin'. I gin him a dretful meanin' look.
"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.
He knew he had said it to scare us, Cicely and me, and he felt considerable meachin' to think he had got found out in it. But he went on in ruther of a meek tone, "It would be apt to make talk, Cicely." "What do I care for talk?" says she. "What do I care for honor, or praise, or blame? I only want to try to save my boy."
I never overdone it like that again, fur you see I'd learned something. First off, there was the appetite. I soon see the gist of my fun had been the wantin' the stuff, the appetite fur it, and if you nursed an appetite along and deluded it with promises it would stay by you like one of them meachin' yellow dogs.
Even as I looked, a elephant passed me with stately tread, bearin' on his richly ornamented back a small-sized man with a bald head; but it wuzn't Josiah's baldness or his small, meachin' figger. Two high tiers of balconies stretched along on one side, ornamented off with white pillows and posies where folks could set and eat their good meals, and enjoy the music and the never ceasing gayety.
Sez he, "Do you ask why?" "Yes," sez I, with that same noble, riz-up look on my eyebrow "why?" "Wall," sez he, a-lookin' kinder meachin', "I want sunthin' to eat, and you'd probable talk a hour with him by the way you've praised up his doin's here." By this time General Davis wuz fur away.
"Oh, no," sez Josiah, lookin' some meachin', "no, you wouldn't." "Yes, I would," sez I. "And I'd 've enjoyed it richly" sez I, es I turned and put my sprig round the edge of the platter. Casper wuz demute for as much as half a minute, and Josiah Allen looked machin' for about the same length of time. But, good land! how soon they got over it.
He looked kinder meachin' but didn't dispute me. The speeches wuz beautiful and convincin', and pretty soon old Mom Nater stopped cryin' to hear 'em, and she and I both listened full of joy and happiness to see with what eloquence and justice our sect wuz pleadin' our cause.
"Oh, no," sez Josiah, lookin' some meachin', "no, you wouldn't." "Yes, I would," sez I. "And I'd 've enjoyed it richly" sez I, es I turned and put my sprig round the edge of the platter. Casper wuz demute for as much as half a minute, and Josiah Allen looked machin' for about the same length of time. But, good land! how soon they got over it.
