It appears that the tall female insisted upon occupying the same bed with
the newly married pair, that her sister was favourably disposed to the arrangement,
and that the husband had agreed to it before the wedding took place, and
now indignantly repudiated the contract.
"Won't you go away now, Susan?" said the newly married man, softening
his voice.
"No," said she, "I won't so there!"
"Don't you budge an inch," cried the married sister within the
room.
"Now now Maria," said the young man to his wife in a piteous tone
"don't go to cuttin' up in this way; now don't."
"I'll cut up as much as I wanter!" she sharply replied.
"Well," roared the desperate man, throwing the door wide open
and stalking out among the crowd, "jest you two women put on your duds
and go right straight home, and bring back the old man and woman, and your
grandfather, who is nigh on to a hundred; bring 'em all here and I'll marry
the whole comboodle of 'em and we'll all sleep together."
The difficulty was finally adjusted by the tall female taking a room. Wellesville
is enjoying itself over the sensation.
