[Samantha at the St. Louis Exposition by Marietta Holley]@TWC D-Link bookSamantha at the St. Louis Exposition CHAPTER IV 11/16
"We don't need trees in order to be sociable." And sure enough, on both sides on us wuz goin' on private conversations that we could hear every word on.
It wuz a very friendly place. Well, I het up my little alcohol lamp and made a cup of tea and we had lots left in our lunch basket.
So I called Blandina, her room wuz only jest a little ways from ourn, and we had a good lunch and felt recooperated. We slep' as well as we could considerin' the size and hardness of the mattress and pillows, and the confidences that wuz bein' poured into us onbeknown from both sides. The house is built dretful shammy.
Why I hearn that a man weighin' most three hundred took a room there, and comin' in one evenin' dretful tired from the day's tramp on the Fair ground leaned up heavy aginst the wall to pull off his boots, and broke right through into the next room. And that room wuz occupied by a young married couple.
You know it wuz dretful fashionable to marry and go to St.Louis on your tower.
