thing because
there was a cockide stiff standing right in front of us & jumping up &
down & yelling No T. No T. at the top of his lunges & Prudence says well
why dont you take coffy or milk & for Gods sake stay offen my foot & he
turns to her & says maddam do you want T. & slavery & she says no coffy
& a hot dog just kidding him see Ethen & he says maddam no T. shall ever
land & she says no but my husbend will in a bout 1 min. & I was just
going to plank him 1 when the door behint us bust open & a lot of
indyans come in yelling every body down to Grifins worf there is going
to be a T. party only Ethen they wasnt indyans at all but jest wite men
drest up to look like indyans & I says to a fello those aint indyans &
he say no how did you guess it & I says because I have seen real indyans
many a time & he says to a nother fello say Bill here is a man who says
them sent real indyans & the other fello says gosh I dont believe it
& they laffed only the laff was on them Ethen because they wasnt real
indyans & that is only tipical of how you cant tell these Boston swelt
heds nothing & I guess if they had ever seen a real indyan they would of
known better than to laff. Well I and Prudence follered the crowd down
to Grifins worf & them indyans which was only wite men drest up clumb
onto a ship there & begun throwing the cargo into Boston harber & I says
to a fello what is in them boxes & he says T. & I says well why are they
throwing it away & he says because they do not want to pay the tacks
which is about as sensable Ethen if I was to rite a lot of letters &
then as fast as I rote I would tare it up because I did not want to pay
for a stamp. Well I says somebody ought to catch he--ll for this & he
says are you a torie & I seen he was trying to kid me & I says no I am
a congregationalis & a loyal subject of king Geo. Rex & he says o I
thought you was a torie & a lot of fellos who was with him give him the
laff because he hadnt been abel to kid me. Well after a whiles he says
the indyans seem to be about threw & I says yes only they sent indyans
& the laff was on him again & he seen it wasnt no use to try & kid me &
Prudence says come on lets beat it & on the way home I says I bet them
Boston birds will feel small when they find out that those wasnt indyans
at all & she act it like she was mad about something & says well they
cant blame you for not trying to tell them & its a wonder you didnt hire
