Why, Miss Rorer herself, that I have kep (in book form) on my buttery shelf for years, wuz here in the body, a-learnin' folks to cook.

That is sayin' enough for the vittles to them that knows her (in book form).
There wuz every appliance and new-fangled invention to help wimmen cook, and do her work, and every old-fangled one.

Miss Plank hunted hard to find sunthin' to make better pancakes than hern, but couldn't.
But it wuz a sight--a sight, the things we see there.
Wall, we spent the hull of the day here--never stepped our feet outside, and didn't want to, or at least I didn't.
And as Night softly onrolled her mantilly, previous to drawin' it over her face and goin' to sleep, we reluctantly turned our feet away from this beautiful, sacred place, and went home on the cars.

And didn't the bed feel good?
And didn't Sleep come like a sweet, consolin' friend and lay her hand on my gray hair and weary fore-top jest as lovin' as Mother Smith ust to, and murmur in my ear, jest as soft and low as Ma Smith did, "Hush, my dear; lie still and slumber.".
