soothin'ly--

"Wall, wall, Josiah, come back to bed and go to sleep, and to-morrow
we'll go and see some live stock and some plows and things."

So at last I got him quieted down, though he did murmur once or twice in
his sleep--Apollo! Hercules! etc., so I see what his inward state wuz.

But towards mornin' he seemed to git into a good sound sleep, and I did
too, and we waked up feelin' quite considerable rested and refreshed.

And it wuzn't till I had a sick-headache bad, and he wuz more than good
to me, and I see that he repented deep of it, that I forgive him fully.

But of course it broke up our goin' to fashionable places agin to
eat--he come out conqueror, after all--men are deep.




CHAPTER XVI.


Wall, this mornin'--it bein' kind of a muggy and cloudy one, I proposed
that we should go and visit the Fishery Department.

And I d'no why I should a thought on it this mornin' more'n another
one--only it wuz jest such a day as Josiah and Thomas Jefferson always
took for goin' a-fishin' in the creek back of Jonesville.
