A heart of gold, pure gold, Harry, and that extraordinary old woman, Aunt Suse, insists that you are your own greatgrandfather, the famous governor of Kentucky." "I was here before in the first year of the war, colonel, and she foretold that I would return just as I did. How do you account for that, sir?" "I don't try to account for it.
But that wouldn't make no dif'rence. Suse Timmins is boss." "Oh, me! Oh, my!" groaned Jennie, to whom the prospect was tragic. Jennie's appetite was never-failing.
