"Clem," I said frigidly, "tell me just what you said to Mrs. Lansdale about me." He paltered, shifting on his feet, his brow contracted in perplexity, as if I had propounded some intricate trifle of the higher mathematics. "Huh! Wha what's that yo'-all is a-sayin', Mahstah Majah?" "Stop that, now! I needn't tell you twice what I said. Out with it!"
And Josiah, feelin' dretful good-natered and kinder patronizin' towards wimmen, and thinkin' that he wuz a-goin' to be strengthened in his talk by what the man wuz a-sayin', sez to me in a dretful, overbearin', patronizin' way, and some with the air as if he owned a few of the ostriches, and me, too, he kinder stood up straight and crooked his forefinger and bagoned to me.
"The very words I was a-sayin' no longer ago th'n this minute to Sister Utterback, 'n' she'll tell you so herself. Sh-she, look at that-air rag ladder, sh-she; 'n' s'I, yes, LOOK at it, s'I what COULD he a-wanted of it, s'I.

"Myry air a-writin' so dum well," she observed, handing it back, "that I can't make it out. What air she a-sayin'? You read it." Young read the badly-spelled note. "I knowed the brat was Ben Letts'," she said, after the man's voice had died away. "He were a cute kid." "We hope to find them all," interposed Young thoughtfully.
