There, In the quiet company of Baptiste and the grocer, the colloquial powers of Colossus, which were simply pro- di«;ious, began very soon to show themselves.
"For whilst," said he, "Mahs Jimmy has eddica- "POSSOJIf JONE'." 167 tion, you know — whilst he has eddication, I has 'sere* tion. He has eddication and I has 'scretion, an' so we gits along." He drew a black bottle down the counter, and, lay> ing half his length upon the damp board, continued : " As a p'inciple I discredits de imbimin' ...of awjua liquors. De imbimin' of awjus liquors, de wiolut'on of de Sabbaf, de playin' of de fiddle, and de usin' of by-words, dey is de fo' sins of de conscience ; an' if any man sin de fo' sins of de conscience, de debble done sharp his fork fo' dat man. — Ain't that so, boss?" The grocer was sure it was so.
" Neberdeless, mind you " — here the orator brimmed bis glass from the bottle and swallowed the contents with a dry eye — " mind you, a roytious man, sech as ministers of de gospel and dere body-sarvants, can take a leetle for de weak stomach." But the fascinations of Colossus's eloquence must not mislead us; this is the story of a true Christian; to wit.
