bundles brought out o' Cap'n Brown's house, and put into
a kerridge, and driv off, atween three and four o'clock in the mornin'.
Wal, that 'ere shows there must 'a' ben a real live woman kep' there
privately, and so what Cinthy saw wasn't a ghost.
"Wal, now, Cinthy says Aunt Sally might 'a' dreamed it,--that she got
her head so full o' stories about the Cap'n Brown house, and watched
it till she got asleep, and hed this 'ere dream; and, as there didn't
nobody else see it, it might 'a' ben, you know. Aunt Sally's clear she
didn't dream, and then agin Cinthy's clear _she_ didn't dream; but which
on 'em was awake, or which on 'em was asleep, is what ain't settled in
Oldtown yet."
