“Old Bill thought the jasper over at Mullens’ might be able to foller a mouth harp anyway. ‘Most generally these blank blank professionals are tol’able fair on waltzes. Purty slow an’ weepy, but Lynn, yuh might prod ‘im up with a pitchfork now an’ then an’ keep ‘im ramblin’. Be better’n nothin’, mebbe.’”
B. M. Bower, On with the Dance (1934).
