Occasionally he would set down for a spell, but the most of his journey wuz done a-walkin' afoot.
And the crowd see it and cheered.
It wuz hard on Bizer.

Nothin' but pride and ambition led him into the undertakin', or kep him up through it.
As for me, I lost all patience, and my breath, too, and went back to my pardner.
And anon or about that time they made their rounds, and come back where Josiah and I stood.
I reached up a handkerchief to Selinda as quick as I could, but she couldn't wipe her eyes or tend to her nose until she dismounted, or fix the gapin' kasum at the back of her waist.
She greeted me warmly the minit her feet touched terry firmy, as one might who had come out of great peril.

She's a good-hearted creeter.
And between us both, with some pins I took out of my huzzy I always carry with me, we fixed her up agin.
And if you'll believe it, the very minit I got her pinned up she begun to act high-headed and to boast of how much principle she'd shown.
And I said, "You've shown more'n principle, Selinda; you've showed cotton flannel that you had ort to have kep to yourself.

You have made a panorama that can't be described." "Yes," sez she; "it will be sunthin' to tell on all my life." She took it as a compliment.

Oh dear me suz! Bizer had scraped the patent leather all offen the toes of his shoes, and had squandered three dollars in money, but he felt good.
