First Sentence:	"Yes," said Mr. Pollock, as we returned home with him in the carriage from his wife's funeral, "take that woman as she was, take her square on her merits, allowin' no discount either way, and as an unmitigated angel, she could skeet around any other woman in this county; bilious, maybe, and with her left eye a little crooked, but still a regular screamer for character and tone; not for singing, mind you, or any other of those fiddle-faddle accomplishments that ordinary women have now-a-days.
Last Sentence:	There is something inexpressively affecting about conjugal affection.
