Description
Excerpt: I. ?SHE WANTED HER RIGHTS.? Lorinda Cagwin invited Josiah and me to a reunion of the Allen family at her home nigh Washington, D.C., the birthplace of the first Allen we knowed anything about, and Josiah said: ?Bein? one of the best lookin? and influential Allens on earth now, it would be expected on him to attend to it.? And I fell in with the idee, partly to be done as I would be done by if it wuz the relation on my side, and partly because by goin? I could hit two birds with one stun, as the poet sez. Indeed, I could hit four on ?em. My own cousin, Diantha Trimble, lived in a city nigh Lorinda?s and I had promised to visit her if I wuz ever nigh her, and help bear her burdens for a spell, of which burden more anon and bom?by. Diantha wuz one bird, the Reunion another, and the third bird I had in my mind?s eye wuz the big outdoor meeting of the suffragists that wuz to be held in the city where Diantha lived, only a little ways from Lorinda?s.
