"Say, Pap, hurry up, please," wailed up the thin, impatient reminder from the road. "Well, yes I laid my hands on him pretty strong. Didn't I, old man?" And the stranger glanced to where Uncle Pros stood, still occasionally interrogating the back of his neck with fumbling fingers. "Don't you worry, sis'; a girl like you will get a miracle when she has to have it.
