I asked her what her book wuz about, and how she wuz gittin' on with it and she said: "It wuz about a lady, a buggler and a ghost, and I've killed 'em all and that's as fur as I've got." Killin' a ghost! a burglar and a heroine, I thought what a noble start for a sensational novel.
But the breakfast bell rung jest then, and I took the little warm hand in mine and led her down to breakfast.
Well, after breakfast Josiah and I sot out in good season for Jerusalem.
Molly wanted to go to the British Building to see a school friend of hern that she thought might be there, and Blandina offered to accompany her.

They wuz goin' to stop at a number of places on the way, and we agreed to meet at noon sharp at the English Building.
We went into the walled city of Jerusalem by the Jaffa Gate, through a tall arched entrance in the stun wall.

Within wuz lots of carriages and horses and camels and donkeys and men, wimmen and children, some in strange and startlin' costooms, but the first thing Josiah spoke on wuz the name of a restaurant, "A Fast," it wuz over a door clost by.
"A fast," sez he, "that don't look very encouragin' in a eatin' house.
If it wuz Brek Fast it would look more hopeful." "You've had your breakfast, Josiah, and a good one.

Don't be thinkin' of vittles so much in such a place as this." "I shall think of what I'm a minter, and you can't break it up, mom!" Truly he spoke the truth; I could cling to his arm, drink out of the same cup, set in the same chair, lay my head on the same piller, and yet, he might be millions of milds from me in sperit, 'round with other wimmen for all I knew.

Queer, hain't it?
Yes, he wuz thinkin' of food right here in this Holy City.
