noon
She says nothin ' must do last night but Mr. Fisher must build a flyin ' - machine with John Bunyan to hold the nails when he hammered . Mrs. Fisher says she quit holdin ' nails afore she 'd been married a year 'n' Mr. Fisher 's jus ' wild now ' t he 's got a new hand to hold his nails f ' r him . She says they were tinkerin ' on the thing all last evenin ' 'n' a good part o ' this mornin ' 'n' two mattresses to beat 'n' a chair to mend 's never counted for anythin ' . Well -- seems ' t towards noon Mr. Fisher got to where he could go down town to get the top part pumped up , 'n' while he was down town what did John Bunyan do but up 'n' put wheels on the bottom part ? My ! but Mrs. Fisher says ' t Mr. Fisher was mad when he got back 'n' see them wheels . He tied the pumped up part to the hammer ' t was layin ' on the garden bench , 'n' then he shook John Bunyan hard 'n' asked him what in thunder he meant by puttin ' wheels on a flyin ' - machine , 'n' John Bunyan jus ' up 'n' asked him to his face how under the sun he was ` xpectin ' to make the thing go ' f it did n't have no wheels on it .
