Dialogue II
Mrs. C. [wishing to buy for her salon in New York a fine old white pine fan-backed rocking-chair she has discovered upon a farmhouse veranda]: Can you tell me if there is a family of the name of Pibuddy living in this vicinity?
Peasant: No, I can’t.
Mrs. C.: Or Littlefield?
Peasant: Never heard of ’em.
Mrs. C.: Or Smith?
Peasant: They’s some Smiths up at Baxter’s Dam Corners. Them who ye lookin’ fer?
Mrs. C.: Yes. They are the very ones. I want to take them a cradle for their baby, as they are relatives of mine. Have you a cradle for sale?
Peasant: No, I ain’t.
