And Jim, havin' by this time got through with his work and toiled into his best suit, they drive off, a colt follerin' 'em, and Jim havin' to get out more'n a dozen times to head it right, and makin' Jane wild with anxiety, for it is a likely colt.
"Wall, they go four milds and a half to the meetin'-house--there hain't no Free-well Baptist nearer to 'em, and they are strong in the belief, and awful sot on that's bein' the only right way.

So they go to class-meetin' first, and both talk for quite a length of time; they are quite gifted, and are called so.

And then they set up straight through the sermon, and that Free-well Baptist preaches more'n a hour, hot or cold weather, and then they both teach a large class of children, and what with takin' care of the three restless children, and their own weariness on the start, they are both beat out before they start for home.

"But she must keep up, for she has got to git the three babies home safe, and then there is dinner to get, and the dishes to wash, and the housework, and the out-door work to tend to, and what with her headache, and her tired-out nerves and body, and the work and care of the babies, Jane is cross as a bear--snaps everybody up, sets a bad pattern before her children and Jim--and, in fact, don't get over it and hain't good for anything before the middle of the week.

"Now I believe in goin' to meetin' as much as anybody, and always have been regular.

But I say Jane hain't consistent." (They don't agree.) Arvilly stopped here a minute for needed breath.
