I guess you carry the whitewash brush along with you in your pilgrimages.

You certainly did give Bill Ragsdale a clean bill o' health.

That must have tickled the folks in Tecumseh County.

Know Ragsdale?
I've set with Bill in the lower house three sessions, and I come pretty near knowin' him.

I don't say that Bill is crooked; but I suspect that if Bill's moral nature could be dug out and exposed to view it would be spiral like a bedspring; just about.
