along, begged with returning con.

but held fast to q bottle still nearly

have walked him up and down the

myself and tell my mother that

that l couldn't do better. that the
dominie's conversation was sure to be
improving, and that Dolly was not
"hity-tity" like some gals she could
mention"
Father would add: And a pretty
little critter, too" And armed with
parental authority / would go to the
parsonage.
