laffing his head off he got 2
chicking egs 1 in his shert bosum and one rite
square in the eye and i never heard sutch swaring
and hooping and gaging in my life and and sheriff
Odlin who was standing on the curbstone got one
in his stovepipe hat and of coarse he had to arest
sumone and he took Bill Hartnitt and waulked him
off and as soon as the old pedler got enuf of the eg
out of his ey so he cood see and breeth he grabed
the ranes and liked his horse round the corner.
peeple were rushing round and triing to get out of
the way and sum were hollering murder what a
stink and sum were hollering hell what a stink and
sum were laffing their heads off and bending over
and slaping their gnees and leening agenst trees
and holding their sides and sum were swaring and
getting the polisemen to arest inosent peeple whitch
hadent done nothing and one man with a streek of
yellow down his back where he had got a popper
was offering 500 dollers for the man whitch wood
tell him who throwed them rotten egs. i see father
there talking with old Swane and old Mizzery and
shaking his head. father dident get hit but Pewts
father did. he got a popper in the coat tale and he
was mad. he wood have been madder if he had
gnew it was his eg.

of coarse we hit a good many peeple that we
dident meen to hit. they shoodent have been in
the way and they coodent blaim ennybody but themselfs.
but i supose they wood about kill us if they
gnew who done it. peeple is prety unreesonable
sumtimes. but we drove the old pedler away and
saved a grate del of money for the peeple and we
pluged old Swane and old Mizzery Dirgin and
evrybody was glad of that. of coarse when a feller
gets a roten eg in the ey or in the middle of his
vest when he has got his best close on he dont feel
xacly plesant towerds ennybody. after tonite i
gess evrybody will ware their old close when they
go out to hear a pedler pedle.

well while the peeple was hollering and swaring
and holding their nose and being arested for being
drunk by old Swane and old Mizzery and Sheriff
Odlin and being draged into the lockup me and
Beany and Pewt shet the winders of the office and
we come down stairs and went home. when we
got to my house we all went in. mother and Aunt
Sarah and Keene and Cele was setting up. well
when he went in and begun to talk mother and
Aunt Sarah begun to maik awful faces and Keene
and Cele sed phew what a awful smell and mother
sed Keene open the windows quic
