Mebby my mother was a earl's daughter.

Earl's daughters is the worst fur leaving you out in baskets, going by what Martha said.

It is a kind of a habit with them, fur they is awful proud people.

But it was a lucky way to start life, from all she said, that basket way.

There was Moses was left out that way, and when he growed up he was made a kind of a president of the hull human race, the same as Ruzevelt, and figgered out the twelve commandments.
