James Whitcomb Riley was an American poet and author, best known for his dialect verse that celebrated rural life in Indiana. His poems often captured the nostalgia and simplicity of childhood, small-town America, and the common folk. Riley's warm, humorous, and often sentimental style made him immensely popular in his time, earning him the nickname "The Hoosier Poet." His works, such as "Little Orphant Annie" and "The Raggedy Man," remain beloved for their accessible language and evocative portrayals of American folklore and rural experiences.

Company Manners

When Bess gave her Dollies a Tea, said she,-'
It's unpolite, when they's Company,
To say you've drinked _two_ cups, you see,--
But say you've drinked _a couple_ of tea.'
