The Attache

CHAPTER I
16/17

The most liberal feller I know on is "Old Scratch himself." If ever the liberals come in, they should make him Prime Minister.

He is very liberal in religion and would jine them in excludin' the Bible from common schools I know.

He is very liberal about the criminal code, for he can't bear to see criminals punished.

He is very liberal in politics, for he don't approbate restraint, and likes to let every critter 'go to the devil' his own way.

Oh, he should be Head Spy and Prime Minister that feller.
"But without jokin' tho', if I was Queen, the fust time any o' my ministers came to me to report what the spies had said, I'd jist up and say, 'Minister,' I'd say, 'it is a cussed oninglish, onmanly, niggerly business, is this of pumpin', and spyin', and tattlin'.
