"Here's your basin, Carter; go out and have a good wash. Here's yourcomb; it's been lost for quite awhile. I put a towel out there for you,too. Hurry up now and get your vittles while they are nice!"

"You're a fine-looking boy, George, when you're slicked up," she said."Now bow your head until we say grace! There, now pitch in and tell mehow you like grandma's cooking."

Shaw ate heartily and praised everything.
