原文
"Janet told me I could have the use of the parlor when any young men
called! I don't think there are many to call. I haven't seen a young man
in Valley Road yet, except the next-door hired boy--Sam Toliver, a very
tall, lank, tow-haired youth. He came over one evening recently and sat
for an hour on the garden fence, near the front porch where Janet and I
were doing fancy-work. The only remarks he volunteered in all that
time were, 'Hev a peppermint, miss! Dew now-fine thing for carARRH,
peppermints,' and, 'Powerful lot o' jump-grasses round here ternight.
Yep.'
