apparatus, publications by Goverment, etc.

me, right while my eyes wuz sot on 'em--

I hearn a voice I recognized. It wuz a-givin' utterance to the words I
had heard so often--

"Two dollars and a half for cloth--three for sheep, and four for
morocco."

I turned, and there she wuz; there stood Arvilly Lanfear. She wuz in
front of a good, meek-lookin' freckled woman, a-canvassin' her.

Or, that is, she wuzn't exactly applyin' the canvas to her, but she wuz
a-preparin' her for it.

It seemed that she had been introduced to her, and wuz a-goin' to call
on her the next day with the book.

Sez I, advancin' onto her, "Arvilly Lanfear, did you really git here
alive and well?"

"Wall," sez she, "I shouldn't have got here, most likely, if I wuzn't
alive, and I never wuz so well in my life, in body and in sperits.
Hain't it glorious here?" sez she.

"Yes," sez I; and, sez I, "Arvilly, did you walk afoot all the way
here?"
