"YEA, verify" exclaims one of our
naughty exchanges, girls are of few
days and full of mischief, and who
soever is deceived thereby is not
wise. When the fair one cheweGh
gum with much haste, and stampeth
her pretty foot with much vigor,
then beware. She cometh forth in
the evening with low neck and short
sleeves, but in the morning she lieth
in bed while her mother hustleth.
