Show SOME FLIES IN OINTMENT Bride Was Happy Enough, but There Were a Few Things That Might Be Improved On. A maid who had been employed in the Benner home for several years took unto herself a husband and went to a nearby town to live. One day about a month after the wedding she came to call on her former mistress, who said: "Well, Phoebe, I hope that you are happy in your new home. How is your husband?" To this the bride of a month made reply: "Well, I reckon I'm happy enough, but the chimney in the kitchen don't draw none too good, an' the water in the well is so brackish I ain't never goin' to git used to it. As for my husband, hus-band, well, ma'am, it's with him as it is with your man an' all the rest of 'em, if the Lord had 'em to make over he could improve some on the job. Ain't eggs turrible high?" |
