found her way to the door and went
on to-the neyU house, where Miss So

the usual civil INQUIRIES, and then Miss
Sophronia opened the .copyersation.

time! If it isn't a dance, it's a picnic,

tious as a wren, but she isn't of no
use in this livin' world, as-I see, but

Mis- Bunnel found out chat May was
going over, to NorwaR III q buggy, with
sayoung feiler, at eight. o'clock in til
evenin', calcnlatin' to come home by
smponlight, betwixt. one an,.tMo in the
mornin', and, materially, she sot down
her foot that May shouldn't co. She
didn't know t,lc;fcllcr; and she knew
real well it wasn't seeinly tor a gal OF
fifteen to 60 off that way with any
young man, and SO she said; but if
you'll believe it, Mis- Brown, that
piece jest put on her sack and bonnet,
and walked right out OF the door and
off with her teller! It'd been-her ma,
she dthayegot,a locked door in her
lace when she come home" s'.7 q q
