| First Sentence: |
"Yes, sir," said Butterwick to me, the other day, in alluding to his wife, "she's an uncommon fine woman about most things; loves her children, makes splendid pies, don't fool any with any of those fan-dangling ways women have of fixing their hair, and she's an angel for temper; but she's the awfulest woman for going to auctions I ever see. |
| Last Sentence: |
I'm a good-natured man, but no woman shall bring home 300 tomato cans to my house and retain a claim upon my affections." |
