When we reached Troolyrooral we found that "Cousin" Elsie Schulz was also a visitor there.
"Cousin" Elsie is a sort of privileged character in the family, having lived with Aunt Martha for over twenty years as a sort of housekeeper.
They call her "Cousin Elsie" just to make it more difficult.
Three or four years ago Elsie married Gustave Bierbauer and quit her job.
"Cousin" Elsie believes that conversation was invented for her exclusive use, and the way she can grab a bundle of the English language and break it up is a caution.
Language is the same to Elsie as a syphon is to a highball—and that's a whole lot.
Two years after their marriage old Gustave stopped living so abruptly that the coroner had to sit on him.
The post mortem found out that Gustave had died from a rush of words to his brainpan.
The coroner also found, upon further examination, that all of these words had formerly belonged to Elsie, with the exception of a few which were once the property of Gustave's favorite bartender.
After Gustave's exit Aunt Martha tried to get Elsie back on her job, but the old Dutch had her eye on Herman Schulz, and finally married him.
