We saw quite a lot of folks from East Wellmouth, but we saw 'em first, so we didn't meet 'em.

One kind of funny thing happened: a man who was outside a snake tent, hollerin' for everybody to come in, saw us and he says to me: 'Girlie,' he says--he was a fresh guy like all them kind--'Girlie,' he says, 'ask your pa to take you in and see the Serpent King eat 'em alive.

Only ten cents, Pop,' he says to Kenelm.

'Don't miss the chance to give your little girl a treat.' Kenelm was all frothed up at bein' took for my father, but I told him he needn't get mad--if I could stand it he could, I guessed." Kenelm reported for work as usual on Monday morning and he worked--actually worked all day.

For an accepted lover he appeared rather subdued and silent.
