Additional quotes by Will Carleton

Betsy, like all good women, had a temper of her own.

Fare you well, old house! you're naught that can feel or see,
But you seem like a human bein'—a dear old friend to me;
And we never will have a better home, if my opinion stands,
Until we commence a-keepin' house in the house not made with hands.

Not a log in this buildin' but its memories has got
And not a nail in this old floor but touches a tender spot.
