"No, Mis' Barrett, so's He look arter Dora an' th' child'en, I don't keer what He du ter me." "Mother!" No answer, but a quiver of drooping lids. "Mother!"

"Then don't kape a-lookin' o' that mander.

'Keep hisself, I said, 'why ain't we agoin' to keep him? And then he began such a palaver about a man bein' bound to keep his wife but not his father-in-law, and it not bein' fit for three grown people to live in one room, as if my father and mother and his father afore him and all his brothers and sisters hadn't lived in this very room that now I lie a-dyin' in; and I said 'well, as I see it, if you take Daddy's custom off of him, you're bound to keep Daddy. And he said that wasn't his way o' lookin' at it, and I went into a sudden anger, and declared I wouldn't have nought to do with a man that could treat my Daddy so, and he was just turning the boat round to go into the Drift, and there came such an evil look in his eyes so as it seemed to go through my bones like a knife, and he said 'You shall repent this one day you and your daddy too, and I said not another word and he began to row forwards through the Devil's Drift.
