Synopsis
Excerpt from Contraband Christmas
Alah Greene lived in comfort among the Cumberland hills. That 's some where within the bounds of a State so small that when the governor of it wants to call a General Assembly, he goes to his front door and whistles, so they say.
Little Rhody is the playful and patron izing name that her sister States often give her; but when she speaks for herself, otfi cially, she stands up straight in any com pany, and says, state OF rhode island and providence plantations; and when she is twitted about her size, she sometimes quotes Proverbs xxx. 24.
