ETERNAL INDEBTEDNESS.
“When I lent her the eggs,” said Mrs. Partington,
“she said she would be eternally indebted to me, and I
guess she will. How can people do so? I would go
round the world on all-fours a begging before I would be
guilty of such a thing. Ah, well, it takes everybody to
make a world!”
And she put in saleratus enough to make up for the
non-returned eggs; her neighbor had decidedly taken
a rise out of her.
