Will you come inside, Mis' Carey? she asked hospitably,
gpt
I always prefer the grass, Mrs. Popham, smiled Mrs. Carey.

As it's the day for the fishman to come I thought we'd like an extra quart of milk for chowder.
gpt
I only hope he'll make _out_ to come, was Mrs. Popham's curt response.
human
If I set out to _be_ a fishman, I vow I'd _be_ one! Mr. Tubbs stays to home whenever he's hayin', or his wife's sick, or it's stormy, or the children want to go to the circus!
gpt
That's true; but as your husband reminded me last week, when Mr. Tubbs disappointed us, his fish is always fresh-caught, and good.
human
Oh! of course Mr. Popham would speak up for him! returned his wife.
gpt
I don't see myself as it makes much diff'rence whether his fish is good or bad, if he stays to home with it! Mebbe I look on the dark side a little mite; I can't hardly help it, livin' with Mr. Popham, and he so hopeful.
human
He keeps us all very merry at the Yellow House,
gpt
Yes, he would, remarked Mrs. Popham drily,
human
It's a wonderful faculty, seeing the good in everything,
gpt
Wonderful tiresome, returned Mrs. Popham,
human
You go to the Congregational church, don't you, Mrs. Popham? asked Mrs. Carey.
gpt
I've seen Lallie and Digby at Sunday-school.
human
Yes, Mr. Popham is a Methodist and I'm a Congregationalist, but I say let the children go where they like, so I always take them with me.
