When you fust of all come and told me about what I may call the great transformation scene, you said, "Now it ain't a-goin' to make no difference, Dan," you said. Now wait till I've finished; I ain't complainin' of nobody. Well, and I tried to 'ope as it wouldn't make no difference, though I 'ad my doubts. "Come an' see us all just as usu'l," you said.

Yo' munnot trust aw yo' hear, Mester; that's aw I can say."
"I remember one time your cousin Hezekiah Knowles You don't remember him, Hosy; he died when you was little One time Cousin Hezzy was up to Boston with his wife and they was shoppin' in one of the big stores.

Father's out of work, rent's most due, and Aunt Rachel's worrying our lives out with predicting that we'll all be in the poorhouse inside of three months.
