and talk on the road together and have a little chat; have a little snort too. It's a wonderful place to have a poll, this Melville. But in Belle River there was bad arguments and bad fights too. Oh, there'd be nothing unless there'd be a fight, at 10 o'clock in the morning too. I'd hardly bother going out to vote anymore. Things are crooked and twisty and everything now. But I might as well vote as long as I live. That's the free thing we have here. No, it's not like it used to be. There was one thing; I'll tell you one thing. You knew [Premier] Walter Jones ? I got the big job on the big swamp up on the back road there at one time, and Walter Jones and the wife come here that night at 11 o'clock. He was through Iris and everywhere. I said, "Did you have supper?" "Jase," says he, "we didn't have a bite since we left town this morning." So Fanny's father was just after taking over a big box of lobsters and she had a meal ready.
