"The bottom of your foot is clean."
"That tickles! That tickles, Kitty!"
"Your big toe is a good door-knob."
"Oh, Kitty."
"Out, Regnan!"
"'Tis better to stand on two feet than to lose one big toe. I love you, Kitty."
"The way you stand such treatment shows it. A true lover is the old man who enjoys the whims of an old wife."
"You are a young wife to-day."
"A good breakfast, a hard day's work and the ceremony to-night! I'll warrant that you'll outshine the preacher, Regnan."
Regnan and Kitty were good, religious people. They took pride in the fact that they divided their religious duties. He prayed night and morning. She said the blessing at all times. She gathered the moral and religious news of the neighborhood, and he discussed it for their own benefit. At these functions Kitty was Kitty and Regnan was Regnan. Joking and arguing always found other means of outlet.
