So I argued it out with myself . ` Sarah Crowe , ' say I -- my first was a Crowe -- ` you can marry your rich man if you like but you wo n't be happy . Folks ca n't get along together in this world without a little bit of love . You 'd just better tie up to Thomas , for he loves you and you love him and nothing else ai n't going to do you . ' Jog along , black mare . So I told Thomas I 'd take him . All the time I was getting ready I never dared drive past W.O. 's place for fear the sight of that fine house of his would put me in the swithers again . But now I never think of it at all , and I 'm just that comfortable and happy with Thomas . Jog along , black mare . '' `` How did William Obadiah take it ? '' queried Anne . `` Oh , he rumpussed a bit . But he 's going to see a skinny old maid in Millersville now , and I guess she 'll take him fast enough . She 'll make him a better wife than his first did . W.O. never wanted to marry her . He just asked her to marry him 'cause his father wanted him to , never dreaming but that she 'd say ` no . ' But mind you , she said ` yes . ' There was a predicament for you . Jog along , black mare . She was a great housekeeper , but most awful mean .
She wore the same bonnet XXXXX eighteen years .
