Ward, Artemus
American wit and humor
"Madam," he softly said, addressing the twenty disconsolate
widows. "I have seen part of you before! And although I have
already twenty-five wives, whom I respect and tenderly care for,
I can truly say that I never felt love's holy thrill till I saw
thee! Be mine--be mine!" he enthusiastically cried, "and we will
show the world a striking illustration of the beauty and truth of
the noble lines, only a good deal more so--
"Twenty-one souls with a single thought,
Twenty-one hearts that beat as one!"
They were united, they were!

it not, in fact, show that however many there may be of a young
widow woman, or rather does it not show that whatever number of
persons one woman may consist of--well, never mind what it SHOWS.
Only this writing Mormon romances is confusing to the intellect.
You try it and see.
