Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mrs. Tubbs of Shantytown: A Comedy-Drama in Three Acts "Clingie's certainly a long time makin' up her mind, but when she's sot a steam shovel himself couldn't unset her." "Don't you act like a siren to him. Simon Rubbels wouldn't recognize a siren if he found her floating 'round in his bean soup." "I crossed over mountains and over rivers and went through long black funnels that would have made you think your last day had come. And I went around curves and seen sights that I never expected to have saw this side of the River Jerden. I've always wanted to be a traveled lady, and now I've done it." "I hope and I trust, and when a person hopes and trusts fer a thing they ginerally git it. Everything is bound to come out right some time." "I ain't goin' to worry. There ain't no use in h'istin your umbrella until it begins to rain." "I jest do what I have to do and make the best of it.

Why, mister, that man didn't know no more about the Bible than my sister's cat's tail. And what's more, I ain't got no sister. "His maiden name was Theodore. He was real handsome and a member of the Imperial Order of the Woodenmen." "Men is men the hull world over, and it seems jest like it's a man's nature to do that which they oughtn't to do, and to leave undone them things they ought to have did. That's Scripture." "Folks may come and folks may go, and kingdoms wax and wane, as the poet says, but the ironin' must be did." "He was out in the rain in the A. M. and caught cold in the P. M. That's how come I didn't send him to school." "What difference does money make? If you've got your youth and your strength and your love, that's worth all the money that was ever made in this whole world." "Love your country and stand up fer it to the last ditch.
