his good fault declaring that she is the most abused poor woman that ever lived vowing that she wont live with him and that she will have divorce and alimony ali-mony and lawyers fees and court expanses and the old mans wool off his head and his hearts blood too and all that sort of thing Now the neighbors certainly the more sensible of them think notwithstanding not-withstanding tho ladys virtues and that she may have some just cause of complaint that she is a publio nuisance nuis-ance and is a rather bad egg EO far and that she must have some faults on her side whether the oman o-man
