"Well, sir," exclaimed Brother Roach, "Kitty always had a piece of my heart, and now she has it all." "A likely young man, that George Denham," said Brother Brannum, as Denham moved towards the house. "You never spoke a truer word, Brother Brannum," said Brother Roach, enthusiastically. "Look at his limbs, look at his gait, look at his eye.
"Why, by the grace of big discourses, Brother Brannum. There 'a many a preacher could close down the Bible on his hankcher and make our very misdeeds smell sweet as innocence.

"Yes, yes, Brother Johnny Roach," said Brother Brannum, frowning a little; "but what of that?
"Mercy, Brother Roach," exclaimed Brother Brannum, taking this as a neighbourly hint, "mount up here and rest yourself, whilst I stretch my legs along this level piece of ground." "I'd thank you kindly, Brother Branuum, if you wouldn't so misjudge me! It's my will to walk; but if I git my limbs sot to the saddle here and now, they'd ache and crack might'ly when next I called upon 'em.
'I've got the cold cash in my pocket, and now let 'em ketch the nigger, says he. "'Well, Giner'l, says I, 'it'll be time for to marvel arter you seethe outcome, bekaze, says I, 'when there's business in the wind, Mizzers Denham is as long-headed and as cle'r-sighted as a Philedelphia lawyer, says I. "In what regards, Brother Roach?" said Brother Brannum, rubbing his bony hands together.
