the way of the transgresor is hard. Isak has
called upon his cussen for pertecksion. wood you
have me fale him, speek woman.

then aunt Sarah began to laff and sed there is no
use in talking to you when you are fealing like that
and i shall not say enny moar and she went off.
i gnew there wood be sum fun for they always is
when father talks like that and so i asted father if
i cood go up to Ikes with him. he sed i cood go
but i must let him do the talking and not say a word
unless i was asted to. so i sed i wood be cairful
and we went up. it was not quite dark and when
we got up there father gnocked 3 gnocks and we
heard sumone say who is there, and father sed it
is me George and then Ike unlocked 3 or 4 locks
and opened it about 5 inchs and it was held by a
chane. then he peeped out and sed is it you George.
who have you got with you and father sed this is
my boy Harry. then he sed to me this is cussen
Isak and i sed how do you do cussen Isak and he
sed how do you do and i sed i spoke to you one day
and you dident know me and so i told father if he
ever got a chanct to interduce me.

the Ike sed i am a little neer sited and i sed i
see you are cussen Isak and then father nugged me
with his elbo and i dident say enything moar.

then father sed you havent heard enything moar of
the kidnapers and Ike he give a sort of gump and
sed do you think cussen George that they is kidnapers
and father sed i have thought so from sum
things i have heard. and old Ike sed what have you
heard and father sed well Isak i dont want to friten
you but you had augt to know this. jist then Ikes
wife Mary come in. we call her Mary Isak becaus
they is so mutch alike and never goes enywhere
and jest sets and rocks in rocking chairs and looks
at each other.

when she come in father got up and shook hands
with Mary Isak and interduced me and she asted
him if he thougt they was verry daingerous men
and father laffed and sed no cussen Mary there
isent the leest dainger in the wirld. it is only sum
smart fellers that wants to have a little fun with
sum of our best cittisens and they isent the leest
need of wurrying. so you go to bed and i will set
up and talk with Isak until the poliseman comes up.

so Mary Isak went up stairs and Isak begun to
perk up quite a lots until father sed as i was saying
Isak when cussen Mary come in, i have read
the papers cairfuly and there has been quite a number
of cases cimmiler to this. 1 in Milton ma
