"Yes," sez I, in a very dry axent, most as dry as my flat-iron, and that wuz fairly hissin' hot. "She most probable had some man to advise her, and to tell her what use the mit would be to support a big meetin' house." Oh, how dry my axent wuz. It wuz the very dryest, and most irony one I keep by me and I keep dretful ironikle ones to use in cases of necessity.
My present fleet on the river Charles consists of three row-boats. 1. A small flat-bottomed skiff of the shape of a flat-iron, kept mainly to lend to boys. 2. A fancy "dory" for two pairs of sculls, in which I sometimes go out with my young folks. 3.
"The wind draws through the gap with tremendous strength," Folco explained. "Just before the gale moderated there was a heavy squall with rain." "Was there? I did not notice that but I was on the lee side of the house. The wind must have smoothed the sand, just like a flat-iron!" "Yes." Corbario answered indifferently and gazed out to sea.
With them went bosses and orders; with the flat-iron cherished independence. When I had sold out Jamestown, I made a bee-line for Pittsburg, a city that had taken my fancy because of its brisk business ways. They were brisk indeed. Grant's second campaign for the Presidency was in full swing. On my second night in town I went to hear Horace Greeley address an open-air meeting.

The men had a joke among themselves that young Early had been obliged to take a seed-store on a debt, and was thus disposing of his stock. The "flat-iron," once watched with a wondering hope, had become a park in truth, the young trees growing healthily in the open space upon which the houses looked, while flower-beds were all abloom.
" It's it's a little out of hand, now, but she'll settle down after a while." The Admiral went over the side, according to the rules of the Service, but the Staff-Captain must have told the other men of the squadron in Simon's Bay, for they one and all made light of the flat-iron for many days.
"It is," ses the conjurer, looking at 'im nasty like; "p'r'aps you'd like to examine it." Bob Pretty took it and looked at it. "Yes, mates," he ses, "it's a ordinary flat-iron. You couldn't 'ave anything better for smashing a watch with." He 'eld it up in the air and, afore anybody could move, brought it down bang on the face o' the watch.
"The Flat-iron could never negotiate that," remarked Garth. He knocked on the little door. "Come in!" rang instantly from within. They looked at each other in astonishment. "An English voice!" she whispered. "A white man! Thank God!" said he.
