There wasnt any poetry on the stoneto tell the traveler whether she was a XXX wife, or only acommon sort of partner, but I knew just how the afflictedhusband felt when Death spread his mantle oer the littlehousehold. He didnt have any one to pass the fried porkand potatoes across the table—no one to oil his hair Sun-day mornings—no one to go down to the grocery after hisraw oysters when he had the colic.
