"'We be no married?' says Minnie. He shook his head. 'An' I om no
Mussus Mahan?' 'No,' says he, 'ye are no Mussus Mahan. Ye are
plain Muss Duncan.' 'But ye married 'us yoursel',' says she. 'I

upshot, an' Albert puts on hus shoe, an' they go wuth the munuster
an' are married proper an' lawful, an' oz Albert Mahan says
afterward mony's the time, ''Tus no every mon thot hoz two weddun'
nights on Island McGill.'"
