The newcomer turned toward her and extended his hand.
"Hello, Ketury!" he said.

"I ain't seen you sence you wore your hair up, but you're just as good-lookin' as ever.

And ain't that Bailey?
Yes, 'tis, and Asaph, too! How are you, boys?
Shake!" Mr.Bangs and his chum, the town clerk, had emerged from the doorway.
Their mouths and eyes were wide open and they seemed to be suffering from a sort of paralysis.
"Well?
What's the matter with you ?" demanded the arrival.

"Ain't too stuck up to shake hands after all these years, are you ?" Bailey's mouth closed in order that it's possessor might swallow.

Then it slowly reopened.
"I swan to man!" he ejaculated.
