Did I ever tell you that story about the slide in Rickets Gulch?" asked the Honourable Brush Bascom. But first let me make you acquainted with Mr. Humphrey Crewe of Leith. Mr. Crewe has come down here with the finest lot of bills you ever saw, and we're all going to take hold and put 'em through. Here, Lish, I'll give you a set." "Read 'em, Mr. Jane," urged Mr. Crewe.
Bixbee sat up straight in her chair with her hands on her knees and an air of one who would see justice done. "'Lish Harum," she began, "wa'n't only half-brother to Dave. He was hull-brother to me, though, but notwithstandin' that, I will say that a meaner boy, a meaner growin' man, an' a meaner man never walked the earth.
Bixbee, "I told ye how set he is on his young days, an' nobody knows how cruel mean 'Lish used to be to him; but I never see it come out of him so ugly before, though I didn't blame him a mite. But I hain't told ye the upshot: 'Now, he says to Smith, who set with his mouth gappin' open, 'you understand how I feel about the feller, an' I've got good reason for it.
For her part, she didn't like to put ideas in young girls' heads, goodness knows they'd enough foolishness already; but if Cissy made a Christian use of her gifts, and 'tended to her edication and privileges, and made herself a fit helpmeet for any man, she would say that there were few men in these parts that was as "comf'ble ketch" as Lish Braggs, or would make as good a husband and provider.
Think of it. Suppose this uncle of ours had accepted. Suppose he had come to town here and any of our friends had met him. 'This is our guardian, Captain Warren, of Punkin Centre. 'Please to meet ye, says Uncle 'Lish. 'How's taters? Horrors! Say, Caro, you haven't told anyone, Malcolm or his mother, or anyone, have you?" "Of course not, Steve. You know I wouldn't." "Well, don't.
Then, looking about the room, asked, "Has has he been here?" Her brother shook his head. "You mean Uncle 'Lish?" he asked, cheerfully. "No, he hasn't.

I thought as much! Lish Barker, first mate of the Tamalpais, who was said to have gone down with a boat's crew and the ship's treasure after she struck. I THOUGHT I knew that face today."
But this has got to be between you an' me only. You c'n tell the rest of the committee what you like, but if you ever tell a livin' soul about this here understandin', an' I find it out, I'll never pay one cent, an' you'll be to blame.
