AIN'T he, now, a queer feller not to want a girl along when one was so handy?" teased the doctor. "Well," retorted Amanda, "I think he's hard up to be spendin' a whole afternoon READIN'!" "Oh, Doc!" Tillie leaned forward and whispered, "he's up in his room and perhaps he can hear us through the register!"
Absalom's father was secretary of the Board, and Mr. Getz was the treasurer. "Pop he's goin' over to see your pop about it till to-morrow evenin' a'ready if he can make it suit." "When does Ezra go?"
