Jeff inquired when the table had been reset for breakfast. "Yes, I think mebbe there wuz," drawled the old man. He hesitated a moment almost as though at a loss for a proper phrasing of the thing he meant to say next. Then: "Jeff, what's come over your race in this town here lately?" "Meanin' w'ich, suh?" countered Jeff. "Me, I ain't notice nothin' out of the way nothin' particular."
