Miss G. I can’t help that; there is tizick with it, and I think that was what ailed Josiah when he was sick.
Sam. Why that was the newraligy the doctor said.
Miss G. Doctors are liable to mistakes. I always thought it was the tizick. There are more folks that are tizicky in this world than you think for. I am a master hand for knowing tizick when I see it.
Wid. D. It looks more to me like the very oh lord.
