R.C. — But did you tell her what marriage was?

W.A. — Ay, ay, there began our dialogue. I asked her if she would be married to me our way. She asked me what way that was; I told her marriage was appointed by God; and here we had a strange talk together, indeed, as ever man and wife had, I believe.

N.B. — This dialogue between Will Atkins and his wife, which I took down in writing just after he told it me, was as follows:-

Wife. — Appointed by your God! — Why, have you a God in your country?

W.A. — Yes, my dear, God is in every country.

Wife. — No your God in my country; my country have the great old Benamuckee God.
