All you needed to a-done was to take her in your arms, and make her your wife, and she'd 'a' waked up to what you meant by love." "But suppose she never awakened ?" "Aw, bosh! S'pose water won't wet! S'pose fire won't burn! S'pose the sun won't shine! That's the law of nature, man! If you think I hain't got no sense at all I jest dare you to ask Doctor Carey.

"Because I sent her away against her will, and now she is remaining so long that there is every probability she prefers the life she is living and the friends she has made there, to Medicine Woods and to me.

The only thing I can do now is to await her decision." "Oh, good Lord!" groaned Granny.
