The Mystery of Metropolisville

CHAPTER XX
10/14

I'm going to pre-empt and build the cutest little bird's nest for you.
"If I was young and in my prime, I'd lead a different life, I'd save my money, and buy me a farm, Take Dinah for my wife.
Oh! carry me back-- "Psha! Dat dah ain't de toon, bruddern.

Ahem! "When you and I get married, love, How jolly it will be! We'll keep house in a store-box, then, Just two feet wide by three! Store-box! Band-box! All the same to me! "And when we want our breakfast, love, We'll nibble bread and chee-- It's good enough for you, love, And most too good for me! White bread! Brown bread! All the same to me! "Dog-on'd ef 'tain't.

One's jest as good as the other, and a good deal better.

It's all the same to me, and more so besides, and something to carry.
