Colonel Starbottle’s Client and Other Stories

CHAPTER III
6/13

We call it the right time for OUR lessons, for we don't allow to come here to sing hymns with babbies.

We don't want to know 'where, oh where, are the Hebrew children ?' They ain't nothin' to us Americans.

And we don't want any more Daniels in the Lions' Den played off on us.

We have enough of 'em in Sunday-school.

We ain't hankerin' much for grammar and dictionary hogwash, and we don't want no Boston parts o' speech rung in on us the first thing in the mo'nin'.
