Somedimes I forget de face of mein own Vilhelmina.

Maybe de Army uf de Potomac, a hundred thousand men, pass right before my door yesterday.

Maybe, as der vedder vas hot, that efery one uf dem hundred thousand men came right into der house und take a cool drink out uf der water bucket.

But I cannot remember.
Alas, my poor memory!" "Then maybe Wilhelmina remembers." "Sh! do not speak uf dot poor voman.

I do not let her go out uf der house dese days, as she may not be able to find der vay back in again." "We'd better go, George," said Harry.
