"Well now, I'll tell you--you know Marble Head?"
"Guess I do."
"Well, then, you know Sally Hackett."
"No, indeed."
"Not know Sally Hackett? Why she lives at Marble Head."
"Guess I don't."
"You don't mean to say that?"
"Yes, indeed."
"And you really don't know Sally Hackett?"
"No, indeed."
"I guess you've heard talk of her?"
"No, indeed."
"Well, that's considerable odd. Now, I'll tell you--Ephraim Bagg, he
that has the farm three miles from Marble Head--just as--but now, are
you sure you don't know Sally Hackett?"
"No, indeed."
"Well, he's a pretty substantial man, and no mistake. He has got a
heart as big as an ox, and everything else in proportion, I've a notion.
He loves Sal, the worst kind; and if she gets up there, she'll think
she has got to Palestine (Paradise); ain't she a screamer? I were
thinking of Sal myself, for I feel lonesome, and when I am thrown into
my store promiscuous alone, I can tell you I have the blues, the worst
kind, no mistake--I can tell you that. I always feel a kind o' queer
when I sees Sal, but when I meet any of the other gals I am as calm and
cool as the milky way," etcetera, etcetera.
The verb "to fix" is universal. It means to do anything.
"Shall I _fix_ your coat or your breakfast first?" That is--"Shall I
brush your coat, or _get ready_ your breakfast first!"
_Right away_, for immediately or at once, is very general.
"Shall I fix it right away?"--i.e. "Shall I do it immediately?"
