94 The virtues of this Deborah came up - "in conclusion I cannot find a closer companion for a good wife - then to compare her with a pig's snout. Every year improves them - and renders their qualities more perfect." His arms come forward in the narrative. "My oldest boy I am satisfied will never marry - he looks straight forward - open - but Stephen I discovered peeked out from under his hat. I know that I should hear from it soon - it must not long before he asked me if I had any objection to his bringing a young lady to our house. These young men that peek out from under their hats the young woman may calculate upon them. When we were at sea - Stephen asked me if I were opposed to his letting his whiskers grow. Oh no! thee may let thy whiskers grown as thick as thee pleasest - as long as they go up and down the sides of thy face - but never let thy whiskers grow across as long as thee cuttest thyself my son. Stephen it seems gave his mistress a gold watch on leaving home. "I told him - said the old gentleman. I guessed by the time he got back from this country - he would find his watch hung up in the apple tree.

Presently the Capt hailed me. "What ship is that!" For my life I could not remember the name of my own vessel. "What's her name said I to my mate - and he not imagining it was of his own ship I could be asking - replied the Forrester - dont you see her name on the stern. Na! Na!! I exclaimed - what's her name? The Forrester he answered again - still mistaking my desire. I seized my trumpet - sprung into the rail - and returned the hail. Come abroad Captain - make me a visit and will look over the register and see what her name is."

His mother was taught to and thus - the article A was read A by itself A and the interjection O - O by it self O. Instance "O Israel!" O by itself O Israel!
