 She was truest to them in the season of trial, as all the quietly loyal and good will always be.

 She's the only sylph I ever saw, who could stand upon one leg, and play the tambourine on her other knee, like a sylph.

 Skewered through and through with office-pens, and bound hand and foot with red tape

 So now, as an infallible way of making little ease great ease, I began to contract a quantity of debt.

 Some medical beast had revived tar-water in those days as a fine medicine, and Mrs. Joe always kept a supply of it in the cupboard; having a belief in its virtues correspondent to its nastiness.
