But HIM--that's diff'rent.

Now, you know jest as well as I do what Mr.
Holly is--every one does, so I ain't sayin' nothin' sland'rous.

He's a good man--a powerful good man; an' there ain't a squarer man goin' ter work fur.

But the fact is, he was made up wrong side out, an' the seams has always showed bad--turrible bad, with ravelin's all stickin' out every which way ter ketch an' pull.

But, gosh! I'm blamed if that, ere boy ain't got him so smoothed down, you wouldn't know, scursely, that he had a seam on him, sometimes; though how he's done it beats me.
