I knew jest how dear crape wuz, and I tackled her on the subject, and sez I "Do you know, S. Annie, these dresses of your'n will cost a sight?" "Cost?" sez she, a-bustin' out a-cryin'.

I vow I've larfed afore now till I have fairly wet myself a-cryin', to see one of these folks catch a horse: may be he has to go two or three miles of an arrand.

She 'lows she's glad she kem so glad she hev lef Abs'lom fur good an' all an' then she busts out a-cryin' agin. I ain't able ter argufy on sech."
