Dear Bill,
No, Petengail--as in the first lines of this excerpt:
http://www.dohistory.org/archive/doc282/282_p287_txt.html
It can be a confusing name (Pete'n'Gail), just as there is
no Bundle of Hers in anatomy.Wilhelm H.

Deliberate misquoting (i.e. lying) very classy Sornson.
Not surprising from a republican bush supporter, however.

The second line reads "Mrs. Parmer safe delivered about 12 of a fine

I think that sentence may have been written by BS's other foil, datakoll.--

Dear Bill,
A nice Joycean pun in a broad Irish accent, even if
unintended--oi'll ackgree jean's no foil, joust foilish.As for Mrs. Parmer, she's just cleverly (except for the cold
weather), a nicely inverted Eastern regionialism that means
means affable, docile, pleased, content, and so forth--but
decidedly not clever:http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=cleverly

OK, that explains one. But how do you deliver "about 12 of a fine daughter?"

From wikipedia:
"A foil character is either one who is in most ways opposite to the main
character or nearly the same as the main character. The purpose of the
foil character is to emphasize the traits of the main character by
comparison or contrast."Gene brings out Bill's traits swimmingly, IMO. I won't tell you whether
I think Gene and Bill are nearly opposite or similar....--

Dear Mickey,
It was dark and the little hand was on the ten and the big
hand was on the twelve when Mrs. Ballard, the midwife whose
diary you are reading, was called out because Mrs. Parmer
was going into labor.The little hand and the big hand were both straight up when
Mrs. Parmer was delivered of a fine daughter.Mrs. Parmer did fine, but the cold was rather unpleasant two
centuries ago, being early December with travellers sleeping
by the hearths and ice running in the rivers in Maine.Her safe delivery was notable, since many women died in
childbirth, like Mrs. Densmore and David Pattee's wife, a
peril now largely forgotten."[November] 14 [1789]. Two men and a boy sleep by our fire
this night.""[November] 17 [1789]. Doctor Coney was called to Mr.
Desmore's at Vassalboro, to his wife in travail.""[November] 19 [1789]. Informed that Mrs. Densmore was
delivered this morn and expired at the second hour, morn.""[December] 5 [1789]. The ice run in the river."
"[December] 7 [1789]. Was called at the 10th h. evening, to
Mrs. Parmer in travail; was conducted to the river by Mr.
Petingil and Mr. Ballard; by the former, Wm Howard, and
Samuel Shaw acrost the river; then rode to Esqr.
Petengail's. Mrs. Parmer safe delivered about 12 of a fine
daughter, and is cleverly, except the cold which prevails
universally.""1789. December 8. I received butter of Esqr. Petengail's
lady for pills shee had of me. David Pattee's wife departed
this life the 4th inst. in child bed. Shee left 12 children
to mourn the loss."The pills were undoubtedly well-meant, but almost certainly
useless.Don't forget to wind your watch.
