There was a mite too much pepper in that basin, Josiah. I was that excited about his ankle that I didn't notice how much I was putting in. It'll soon be better, now, for I was bathing it in this cream that Mrs. Beaver give me.
gpt
Bathing his foot in--what?
human
Cream. It takes the soreness out.
gpt
Clemmie, you're a wonder! But if that cream come from Eadie's I cal'late it won't be none too healing.

I've been talking to the minister about the services, she said, placing the crock on the table.

The Ladies' Aid meets this afternoon. I'm going.
human
You'd best get a life-preserver on.
gpt
Josiah, you shouldn't talk like that. They do a lot of good. I ain't been to one for years. It's so Christian and nice to do things for others. That's what Aid means, aiding some one else.
human
If I ain't 'way off, most of the aiding business runs to the tongues of them present. Most women lean to tongue, excepting you, Clemmie.
gpt
Josiah, you ain't fit for the minister to live with! You shouldn't talk like that about the business of the Lord.
human
Cal'late I am sort of a heathen. But I'll wager that you'll find them there aiders interested in some things aside the business of the Lord.
