I know one old man who married a young woman an’ she carried on with a stage driver!

Dio mio!

He had knowed her all her life, too, an’ you ain’t knowed your Amy more’n ’bout five minutes.

Ees no matter.

An’ I knew another fellow who married one of them city girls like your Amy without bein’ properly acquainted an’ she turned out to be a scarlet woman.

My Amy don’ do dat.

[ enters from kitchen with two glasses and a bottle of wine.]

Ain’t you just now been tellin’ me you’re scared of her seein’ Joe?
