old folks rap over the head occasionally, and don't
care how hard you hit the old woman. I've got a
letter from the spirit of Swedenborg prepared, urg
ing old Rapit to take me for son.inlaw, which I
think will have great weight with him. I'm of the
opinion that the spirithand dodge would succeed if
we had nothing else to fall back upon. But if the
worst come to the worst Ill get the girl to run away

the room in an agony Of rage, he seized poker
which he had bent over the darkeys head, and flying
at Wadder who instantly made for the door, he as.

he INDUCED in passionate food of tears.
