Jes’ think of it, Betsy ! When us be married us vrill have a pig of our own ! Think of that, Betsy !”
“Jan,” she whispered, a note of resentment in her voice, “what do I care for pigs ? I sh’n’t want no pig when I’ve got you !” Then all was silent once more, rave for the musical frolics of the zephyrs already mentioned.
