... Whereas; the
above-named Party of the Second Part (don't f'rget that means Miss
Lydia Bolton) did in behalf of her father--one Andrew Bolton,
deceased--pay, compensate, satisfy, restore, remunerate, recompense
_and re-quite_ all legal indebtedness incurred by said Andrew Bolton
to, for, and in behalf of the aforesaid Party of the First Part....
"You git me? If you don't, just come to my office and I'll explain in
detail any of the legal terms not understood, comprehended and known
by the feeble-minded of Brookville. Form in line at nine o'clock.
First come, first served:
"We, the Party of the First Part, bind ourselves, and each of our
heirs, executors, administrators and assigns, jointly and severally,
firmly by these presents, and at all times hereafter to save, defend,
keep harmless and indemnify the aforesaid Party of the Second Part
(Miss Lydia Bolton) of, from and against all further costs, damages,
expense, disparagements (that means spiteful gossip, ladies!)
molestations, slander, vituperations, etc. (I could say more, _but_
we've got something to do that'll take time.) And whereas, the said
Party of the Second Part has been actually drove to Boston to live by
the aforesaid slander, calumniations, aspersions and libels--which
we, the said Party of the First Part do hereby acknowledge to be
false and untrue (yes, and doggone mean, as I look at it)--we, the
said Party of the First part do firmly bind ourselves, our heirs,
executors, administrators an' assigns to quit all such illegalities
from this day forth, and forever more.
