About once a month we had Lindy with us, for three or four days at a stretch, and durin' that time she'd be gallopin' through all kinds of work, from darnin' my socks or rippin' up an old skirt, to embroiderin' the fam'ly monogram on the comp'ny tablecloths; all for a dollar'n a half per, which I understand is under union rates.
And then by that time the weather wuz so variable that she didn't know whether to take summer clothes or winter ones, and so she dallied along till it got so late that Whitfield didn't dast to take her out at all, she wuz so kinder mauger. She had wore herself all out a-bonin' down and knittin' them stockin's, and embroiderin' them night-shirts, and preparin' for the Fair, so they gin up comin'.
"Yes, yes; it was your mamma and then what?" "It was my mamma, my beautiful, darling mamma! What'll I do, mister? I can't make it up to her. No way nohow. She's gone she's gone " "Easy easy try to keep easy." "I used to kiss her hands when they was embroiderin'. I used to grease 'em for her all night when she screamed with the pain of 'em.
