L as Tor SeWlIl /, she Salu they needn't eX- iii
fpcct her to do any, for she'd eat such
II d hearty dinner she couldn't Miss
/ Fustick and Miss Peabody had gone
over To Harristown to buy Ann EIiza,s
carpets, and engage q dressmaker to
come over and make her new dresses.
She'd got three very nice SILK ones, and
d number more, and there WANT no
dressmaker in Scrabble Hill that was
fashionable enough to rig out d mission
Eary's lady. VI
For 3 spell after I got there, sot
! and looked with all the eyes j had. / ].
1 didn't know what to make ont. Thinks
me this amt much such an outfit rs q
Miss Parsons had. How the times Is
altered! i guess they mean to astonish
the natives. After spell, Miss Sam
son Savage spoke up, and says She
well, Miss Magwire, do you want
some work, on do you calculate to set
and hold your hands all the afternoon2'
No, says /, & want to help if there's n
anything / can do, but / amt no hand
at fancy work. I fetcht along some
muslin / Thought would do for shirts and y
such; IL there was some things cut out
3.of that, could sew on en-,
So IWent into the hall and brought
Eit in. Ann Eliza got up and examined
IL, and said twas altogether too coarse
for such purposes, but she guessed
'twould do for very common kitchen
chamber sheets. III was i mind to,
i j might tear of some and make 'em.
u ! was kind Of hurt, For I'd took pains
] 10 pick out what / thought was . nice
fine piece. But didn't say nothing.
] I tore off the sheets and went To work
at en-; Margaret Pettibone took hold
and helped me. She kept a-treadIR
!. s.on my toe all the afternoon. Mays
pretty keen; there's . good deal Of tho
sWhite horse III her; she's . good
I hearted girl, too.
9 BymehY Miss Fustick and Miss Pea
Z, body got sEs.lts ! hey y IS s.
spirits, for they'd made some first-ratc
p bargains in carpets and searth rugs.
81 The marchant had throw d Of consider
le able when they told him the things was
8 to 60 on q mission. q says TO him,
le says Miss Fustick, that no doubt, I'M
Inl der the circumstances, he'd esteem it q
u privilege to let us have EN- as low as
81 possible He said, sCertingly, and I
l think We got EN- very reasonable I'M
deed. .s
y In the eyenin' there was several
II young men come in. And the new
e minister, Parson Pulsifer, lie was there
d too. He's a single man; ben here since
/, about the middle Of winter Gappen
a Smalley, and d few more Of the richest
il men in the congregation, after they'd
e got rid Of Parson futile, determined
"a they'd have single man; they come
d cheaper than married ones, you know.
I OF course all the Wimmin that had
u daughters to peddle Oh, and oil others
J, that was willin' to dispose OF themselves,
Q fell in with the plan, and so they gin
d Mr.. Pnlsifer q call. He was preachin,
oil LID Punkin' Hook on trial ct the time,
IS and accepted the call. He's wonderful
+ popular with EN- all, more SO than any
s minister they've had before, He's
!, quite q young man, and very good
% lookin' He was brought up few
Il miles out Of Boston, ! forget the name
d of the place. They think he's terrible
% eloquent here, especially the young
folks. But, for my part, I don't cons
q slider him nigh so deep man as Par
a son Scrantum was; and in pint Of plain,
1, practical sarmonizin' he doesn't come
Ie up to Parson Tnttle by q good deal. Il
81 trylto make the best Of him, though.
!. II always try to like my minister, for
4 do hate to hear folks, especially VIM
s. min, for ever fndin' fault with their
1 minister, cornplainin' about his style
4 and manner, or his want Of this, and
D. too much Of that, saying they amt edi-
er fed, and all that sort Of stuff. s,,s
