“Well, Mr. Hayseed, how do you like the resort ?” “Don’t like it fer a cent.” “What are yon here for?” “Came ’cause m* wife an’ the gals wanted ter. What’d you come fer ?” “Oh, we intended to go to the mountains, but had to give it up; so we came here as a dernier ressort.” “That’s it, that’s it—jes’ whijit I say! Dern yer resort, any way. Say, Marier,* jes’ pack up yer duds, an* we’ll go back t’ ther Comers—that’s what well do. Dern yer resort!”—i American Commercial Traveller.
