IT'S like this: l dassent to be glad on
Eva So l want even, / dassent. My
mamma has the same mad, und my
papa. My mamma she says like this:
SO my papa gets sooner glad on my
uncle she wouldn't to be wifes nit
him no more! Such a mad she has!"
''Why?"
"Well. Mine uncle he come out of
Russia From long he come when l
was a little bit of baby. Und he
didn't to have no money to buy
house. So my papa-he's awful kind
he gives him thousen dollers so he
could to buy. Und say, teacher, what
you think? He don't pays 1t back. 1t
amt polite you take thousen dollers
und don't pays 1t back"
sadie's air, as she submitted this rule
of social etiquette to teachers WIDER
knowledge, was a wondrous thing to
see-so deferential was it and yet so
assured.
80 my papa he writes a letter on
my uncle how he could to pay that
thousen doilers Goes months. Comes
no thousen dollers. SO my papa he
goes on the lawyer und the lawyer he
writes on my uncle letter how ne
should to pay. Goes months. Comes
no thousen dollers." At each repeti-
tion of these fateful words Sadie
shook her serious head, pursed up her
ROSY mouth, folded her hands resign
edly and sighed deeply. Clearly this
was a tale more than twice told, Tor
the voice and manner of Sadie were
as the voice and manner of Mrs. Laz-
arus Gonorowsky, and the recital was
lagiarism-masterly and complete.
And then?" prompted teacher, lest
the conversation languish.
"Well, my papa writes some more
letter on mine uncle Oh-o-oh, awful
bossy- -und-mad letter. All the mad
words what my papa knows he writes
on mine uncle. Und my mamma sne
sets by my papas side und all the mad
words what my mamma knows she
tells on my papa und he writes them,
too. on mine uncle Mine uncle CHATS
Eva's papa) could to have fierce mad
sooner he seen that bossy letter. But
goes two days. Comes no thousen
dollers.'
Here ensued a long and dramatic
pause.
well, comes no thousen dollars.
Comes nothings Only by night my
mamma she puts me on my led; when
comes my unclel He comes und makes
a knopping on our door, l couldn't to
tell even how he makes knopping. L
had such a scare l was green on the
face, und my heart was going so you
could to hear. I'm nervous chiId'
Missis Bailey, und my face Is all times
green sooner 1 gets a scare"
This last observation was triumph
of mimicry, and recalled Mrs. Como
rowsky so vividly as to make her at
mosphere of garlic and old furniture
quite perceptible.
80 my mamma heard how my uncle
knopps und says Lemme in-lemme In.
She says cscuse me, teacher)-she says
he must be- Cscuse mel drunk Thats
how my mamma says.
80 goes my papa by the door una
saws who stands?' Und my uncle ne
