I tink I'll make you face come red. Some Frenchmen been come here good many year ago, he ben tole me dat you use to carry de mail on your bach, and a pack on your back, a hax in your hand, snow-shoe on your feet, and sometime tree poor little dog on a train, draw demail tru de woods, and your tree little dog was so poor you could see right true him, coz you was so dam poor you didn have money to buy provision for dat dog. Now you got to be the poss offis master, and you tink you are de biggest big bug on dis town. And when I come to your poss offis, jus so polite I can, and hax you you got any lette for Micho?
