But happier hearts and gladder eyes never glowed and rejoiced in 'em than Isabelle's and her handsome lover's.
And wuzn't Krit glad?
Wuzn't he glad of soul to see Isabelle's happiness?
Yes, indeed! And Maggie and Thomas Jefferson.
Why, of course we wouldn't sing out loud in public, not for anything.

We knew it wouldn't do to go along the streets or in the halls and corridors of the World's Fair, a-singin' as loud as we could-- "Joy to the World!" Or, "What amazin' bliss is this!" or anything else of that kind--no, we wuz too well-bread to attempt it; but inside of us we jest sung for joy, the hull set and caboodle of us.
All but Miss Plank, and a few old maids and widders, and such, who mebby had had hopes.

Miss Plank looked and acted as flat and crushed down as one of her favorite cakes, or as if she wuz a-layin' under her own sirname.
She said she hated to lose the profit of such a boarder, and mebby that wuz it--I don't say it wuzn't.

But this I know, wimmen will keep up hopes, moles or no moles, and age has no power to keep out expectations.
But I make no insinuations, nor will take none.

She said that it wuz money she hated to lose, and mebby it wuz.
But on that question I riz up her hopes agin, for Mr.Freeman wuz bound on bein' married imegatly and to once, and he said that they would remain right there for the remainder of the year at least.
Isabelle hung off, and wanted to go back to Jonesville and be married to our house, as I warmly urged 'em to.
But Mr.Freeman, lookin' decided and firm as anything you ever see, he sez to Isabelle-- "Do you suppose I am ever goin' to lose sight of you agin?
No indeed!" And I sez, "Wall, come right home with us to Jonesville, and keep your eyes on her." I wuz as happy as a king, and he knew it.
