What she don't know about me, I don't know, and what she won't know about you, three days after she gits acquainted with you, you don't know.

That's the kind of a person Miss Panney is.

There's a lot of very nice people, some rich and some poor, and some queer and some not quite so queer, that lives in and around Thorbury, and if you like it at Mrs.Brinkly's and conclude to stay there any length of time, I don't doubt you'll git acquainted with a good many of 'em; but take my word for it, you'll never meet anybody who can go ahead of Miss Panney in the way of turnin' up unexpected.

I once had a sick hoss, who couldn't do much more than stand up, but I had to drive him one day, 'cause my other one was hired out.

'Now' says I, as I drew out the stable, 'if I can get around town this mornin' without meetin' Miss Panney, I think old Bob can do my work, and to-morrow I'll turn him out to grass.' And as I went around the first corner, there was Miss Panney a drivin' her roan mare.
