Weil she haint no blooming rose. She's a daisy, a reg'lar daisy; why, mister, my ■wife is a nagger, and there hain't an hour, ■whoii sne's awake, but what she's nagging someone. If it aiu't mc, it's the children; it it haiu'fc the children, it's the cat. ThereIs nothing thai escapes her nagging tongue, and the only time any of us gets any rest is when she has nagged herself to sleep."
