An' anybody as has any
sense c'n see that it's so. Now just look for yourself: over there,
that's the drug shop! An' a bit across the way to the left is the post
office. An' then a little ways on is the baker an' he's built hisself a
nice new shop. Four noo villas has gone up and if, some day, we gets the
tramway out here--we'll be right in the midst o' things.

[_About to go._] Good evenin'.
MRS. FIELITZ
Are you goin' out this time o' day?
FIELITZ
Yes, 'cause I can't stand that no more.--If I'd known the kind of a
crittur you are ... only I didn't know nothin' about it ... I'd ha'
thought this here marryin' over a good bit--yes, a good bit.
MRS. FIELITZ
You? Is that what you'd ha' thought over, eh?
FIELITZ
Is I goin' to let myself be put up to things like that?...
MRS. FIELITZ
A whole lot o' thinkin' over you'd ha' done! You ain't done any thinkin'
all the days o' your life. A great donkey like you ... an' thinkin'.
Well! A fine mess would come of it if you took to thinkin'.
FIELITZ
Mother, I axes you to consider that ...
MRS. FIELITZ
Put you up? To what? What is I puttin' you up to?--This here old shed is
goin' to burn down sometime.
