And right whilst I wuz thinkin' this, sunthin' wuz happenin' that proved
I wuz right in my eppisodin', and somebody awful sot agin it wuz bein'
converted then and there (but of this more anon and bom-bye). We stayed
till we heard the last word of the last speech, I happy and proud in
sperit, Lorinda partly converted, she couldn't help it, though she wouldn't
own up to it at that juncter. And Josiah lookin' real deprested, the
thought of representin' me wuz worryin' him I knew, for I hearn him say
(soty vosy), "Represent wimmen or not, I hain't goin' to set up all night
with no old woman, and lift her round, nor dry nuss no twins."
And thinkin' his sperit wuz pierced to a sufficient depth by his
apprehension, so reason could be planted and take root, and he wouldn't be
so anxious in the future to represent a woman, I told him what Diantha said
and we all went home in good sperits. The sun shone clear, the rain had
washed the face of the Earth till it shone, and everything looked gay and
joyous.
When we got to Lorinda's we see a auto standin' in front of the door full
of flowery branches in front and the pink posies lookin' no more bright and
rosy than the faces of the two young folks settin' there. It wuz Polly and
Royal.
It seemed that when he and Maud got back from the country (and they didn't
stay long, Royal wuz so restless and oneasy) Maud insisted on his takin'
her to the suffrage meetin' jest to make fun on't, so I spoze.
