Well, Susan, have you heard anything who the strange gentleman is?
_Susan_.

Haven't you heard?
it's all come out! Mrs.Guesswell, the parson's widow, has been here about it.

I overheard her talking in confidence to Mrs.Setter and Mrs.Pointer, and she says they were holding a sort of a _cummitty_ about it.
_Both_.

What?
What?
_Susan_.

There can't be a doubt of it, she says, what from his _figger_ and the appearance he cuts, and his _sumpshous_ way of living, and above all from the remarkable circumstance that his surname should begin with an H., that he must be-- _Both_.
