Abstract
An Aged carpenter who used to come around to our house whenever odds and ends had piled up in sufficient quantity to be “wuth a job of fixin” once paused in a more than usually delicate operation to ask if he might borrow a pair of spectacles. I had none to offer but curious at the abruptness of the request, observed that even if a pair were forthcoming, the chances were against their being suited to his eyes or of providing practical help for him. “Specticals is specticals, aint they?” was his natural rejoinder. At least it sounded natural as he spoke it and even after reflection I had to admit the truth of the assertion—as far as it went.
