“You ought to have seen us get squashed while endeavoring to make a call upon Mr. Butler on New Year’s all tattered and torn, and we think we have a shoulder put out of place. In fact, we got all put out of place, for that matter. However, two eminent physicians, consulted over us, and they pronounced us all right; they think we got in most too tight a place for a fragile youth. Now that New Year’s is over, we’ll try it again. You, too, if you have any desire to see a good show.”
