I dont know what he said so I cant right it but Miss Jemima
Parr blushed that is turned red and nodded her head. Perhaps some
people may think that my mothers uncle Thomas shouldent of
wispered at prayer time in church but you must remember that Miss
Jemima Parrs father had thretened to set the dog on him and that
was hard lines when he was a respektable young man though not
rich. Well when they were singing the last sam my mothers uncle
Thomas got up and went out very quitely and as soon as church was
out Miss Jemima Parr walked out too real quick. Her family never
suspekted anything and they hung round talking to folks and
shaking hands while Miss Jemima Parr and my mothers uncle Thomas
were eloping outside. And what do you suppose they eloped in.
Why in Miss Jemima Parrs fathers slay. And when he went out they
were gone and his slay was gone also his horse. Of course my
mothers uncle Thomas didnt steal the horse. He just borroed it
and sent it home the next day. But before Miss Jemima Parrs
father could get another rig to follow them they were so far away
he couldent catch them before they got married. And they lived
happy together forever afterwards. Mothers uncle Thomas lived to
be a very old man. He died very suddent. He felt quite well when
he went to sleep and when he woke up he was dead.
