Seth's Brother's Wife: A Study of Life in the Greater New York (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Seth's Brother's Wife: A Study of Life in the Greater New York"Ef ther' ain't a flare-up in this haouse 'fore long, I miss my guess," said Alvira, as she kneaded the pie-crust, and pulled it out between her floury fingers to measure its consistency. "Ole Sabriny's got her back up this time to stay.""Well, let 'em flare, says I. 'Taint none o' aour business, Alviry.""I knaow, Milton; but still it seems to me she might wait at least till th' corpse was aout o' th' haouse.""What's thet got to dew with it?"The callousness of the question must have grated upon the hired-girl, for she made no reply, and slapped the dough over on the board with an impatient gesture.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
