While they were thus engaged, Uncle Remus came around the corner of the house, talking to himself. "Dey er too lazy ter wuk," he was saying, "en dey specks hones' fokes fer ter stan' up en s'port um. I'm gwine down ter Putmon County whar Mars Jeems is dat's w'at I'm agwine ter do." "What's the matter now, Uncle Remus?" inquired Mr. Huntingdon, folding up his newspaper.

"Strenger!" said he at length, "I've two things to propose to ye; an' ef you'll agree to them, thur's no need why you an' I shed quarrel leest of all plug one another wi' bullets, as we wur agwine to do a minnit ago." "Name your conditions!" rejoined I, "and if they are not impossible for me to accept, I promise you they shall be agreed to."

Always ready nay, eager for sympathetic discourse, the negro received his young master with a bland, expansive, we might almost say effusive, smile. "Well, massa, how's you gittin' along now?" "Pretty well, Quashy. How do you?" "Oh! fuss-rate, massa only consid'rable obercome wid surprise." "What surprises you?" "De way we's agwine, to be sure. Look dar."

"Yes, an' a bery clebber 'rangement for de lan'lord. He's a cute man de lan'lord. I s'pose you's agwine?" "No, I am not going. I have received no invitation; besides, I have no evening dress." "Bless you, massa, you don't need no invitation, nor evenin' dress needer! You just go as you are, an' it's all right." "But I have no wish to go. I would rather prepare for an early start to-morrow."

"Yes," answered Zeb, breathing hurriedly. "Well, should you see him, tell him of my situation; and and tell him not to run into danger for my sake." "I will," rejoined Zeb, fervently. Here a savage, judging that matters had gone far enough, jerked the negro rudely back. "You needn't be so spiteful," retorted Zeb; "she's told me all she's agwine to."

She felt sure that John Brown could help her, and one night Father Abram said to her, "I'se gwine to run away, honey gwine to keep agwine till I find John Brown: den, when I'se foun' him, I'll keep agwine and agwine and agwine till I finds yo' George: den I'll come back arter yer.

"Well, dat's a subject dat you can't understand, and I haven't time to 'splain it. Dey're perwoken, anyhow, and dey's agwine to cotch dar pay some ob dese days." Consoled with this reflection, Zeb kept steadily upon his way, seemingly as happy as a person could be when laboring under a slight provocation. No further words passed between him and Leland for a considerable time.

Bentley, "I have brought home a gentleman for supper." "Yassah, Misteh Ho'ace. I was jest agwine to open up de blin's." He lifted the wire screens and flung back the shutters, beamed on the rector as he relieved him of his hat, and noiselessly retired.

"Bout'n de boat, and Marsa agwine away nights." "No," said I, indignantly. "I knowed you wahn't," said Breed. "You don' look as if you'd tell anything." We found the master pacing the lower gallery. At first he barely glanced at me, and nodded. After a while he stopped, and began to put to me many questions about my life: when and how I had lived.

Ef yo' go down dyah now, I kin show it to yo', inside de line fence, whar it hed done bin ever since long befo' ole marster wuz born. But Cun'l Chahmb'lin wuz a mons'us perseverin' man, an' ole marster he wouldn' let nobody run over 'im. No, dat he wouldn'! So dey wuz agwine down to co't about dat, fur I don' know how long, till ole marster beat 'im.
