Betsey lodged behind the wild turkey tail,
which she carried by way Of n fan, and then
lodged out for a moment to exhibit a pair of
pouiing lips and angry giancing eyes. ''I
think YOU ought 10 know, she said, s.its your
business 1 suppose its some 6aaness they We
sworn sgin me'-and then she again retired
behind the fan for a second, but Immediately
