Excerpt from Way-Side Fancies

Spooned and mooned after Charty Luke for the last two years, and even went so far as to nail up an Old horse shoe over her door to ward off the bags. And Nancy Trivett had wasted a host of little atten tions, including five new bonnets, and a sixpenny valentine on Sam, while the couple expectant had actually taken the identical cottage Mrs. Coddlin had her eye on for the last six months, with the best and most unfailing well in the parish, and a famous green field opposite for a drying ground Thus private and interested motives peeped through the anger of these, good folks; but' the mingled spite Of all Little Pitm chard put together (and that was not a little) fell short of the concentrated malignity of old Hester Cobble dick, the wise woman of the place. What her grudge was, no one knew; unless that, like the old fairy in the nursery tale, they omitted to ask her to the wedding.
