Description
Excerpt: Chapter 1. AT THE POLICEMAN?S. ?Here comes Mrs. Fleming,? said Jennie Richards, in a tone indicative of anything but pleasure in the coming of Mrs. Fleming. Mrs. Granby responded with an exclamation which savored of a like sentiment, and rising, she tossed aside the little frock she was working on, as she added: ?I don?t see what she?s comin? for! I didn?t want her a comin? here, bringin? her mournin? an? frettin? an? lookin? out for troubles to pester you, Mary Richards, an? I told her I would be over to her place this evenin'. I did tell her, you know, I?d fit that dress for her Mrs. Bradford give her to Christmas, but she just needn't a come here when I told her I?d go there; an? a kill?joy she is an? no comfort to nobody. You go into the kitchen, Mary, an? stay there till she?s gone, which I won?t be long fittin? her, an? I?ll get rid of her soon?s I can.?
