Then another feller cum up right smart like and wanted to know if I'd hav my dinner table de hotel or all over a card, and I told him if it wuz all the same to him he could bring me my dinner on a plate. WELL ONE FELLER COME UP TO ME AN COMMENCE TALKIN SOME FURRIN LANGUAGE I DIDN'T UNDERSTAN SOMETHIN ABOUT BOM SOUR MONSOOR I JEST MADE UP MY MIND HE WAS ONE OF THEM BUNCO FELLERS AN I WOULDN TALK TO HIM THEN ANOTHER FELLER COME UP RIGHT SMART LIKE AND WANTED TO KNOW IF I'D HAVE MY DINNER TABLE DE HOTEL OR ALL OVER A CARD AND I TOLD HIM IF IT WAS ALL THE SAME TO HIM HE COULD BRING MY DINNER ON A PLATE
t with anythin' I used to ast him whar he boarded at in New York, and they all told me at Mr. Delmonico's; so I'd cum to the conclusion that Mr. Delmonico must hav a right smart purty good sized tavern; and I sed to mother--now mother, when I git down to New York that's whar I'm goin' to board, at Mr. Delmonico's. Wall, I got a feller to show me whar it wuz, and when I got on the inside I don't s'pose I wuz ever more sot back in all my life; guess you could have knocked my eyes off with a club; they stuck out like bumps on a log. Wall sir, they had flowers and birds everywhere, and trees a settin' in wash tubs, didn't look to me as though they would stand much of a gale; and about a hundred and fifty patent wind mills runnin' all to onct, and out in the woods somewhar they had a band a-playin'. I couldn't see 'em but I could hear 'em; guess some of 'em wuz a havin' a dance to settle down their dinner; I couldn't tell whether it was a society festival or a camp meetin' at feedin' time.
