The Treasure of Heaven

CHAPTER XXI
19/35

"They talks a lot--they talks yer 'ed off--but they doos onny 'arf the labour as they spends in waggin' their tongues.

An' for a hepitaph, they none of 'em aint got an idee.

It's allus Scripter texes with 'em,--they aint got no 'riginality.
Now I'm a reg'lar Scripter reader, an' nowheres do I find it writ as we're to use the words o' God Himself to carve on tombstones for our speshul convenience, cos we aint no notions o' feelin' an' respect of our own.

But artists can't think o' nothin', an' I never cares to employ 'em.

Yet for all that there's not a sweeter, pruttier place than our little cemetery nowheres in all the world.
