bucked vigorously and said in the most
offensive manner he could summon:
'Look at that chair! Liable to fall
down even if I hang my shirt on it.
The wash pitcher is fatally cracked, and
the bowl has a scallop as big as a sum-
mer squash. The carpet is full Of holes
and dirty, and so much quicksilver has
been rubbed off the back of the looking
glass that look as if had the small
pox. The cover on the washstand has
been Oh there for two long, hard, busy,
dirty years, and the bed looks like q
swayback horse with thin blanket
over it. If I were to try to sleep on
that bed would arise in the morning
looking like q waffle. ThV wall paper
is off in large patches-in fact, it is OF
in bunch. The ceiling is cracked, and
