Two Bolts

I went to the store the other day to buy a bolt for our front door, for as I told the storekeeper, the governor was coming here.

“Aye,: said he, “and the legislature too.â€

“Then I will take two bolts,†said I.

He said that there had been a steady demand for bolts and locks of late, for our protectors were coming.

Henry David Thoreau, The Journal, Sept. 8, 1859.
