No matter how much he learned, he wanted to learn more. He was always hungry, hungry for knowledge not hungry for bacon and cornbread the way Johnny was. The idea made her chuckle. Abe did not hear. He laid the book on his knee and stared into the flames. His lips were moving, although he made no sound. "What are you saying to yourself?" Sarah asked. "You look so far away." "Why, Mamma."
Story of Peter Bruner, a former slave: Peter Bruner, was born in Winchester, Kentucky, Clark Co., in 1845. His master was John Bell Bruner, who at that time treated him fairly well. When Peter was 10 years of age his master brought him and his sister to Irvine. After arriving in Irvine, Peter's master was very cruel to him. They got only cornbread, fat meat and water to eat.
Sitting between her stepsisters, she was soon chattering with them as though they were old friends. Once she called the new Mrs. Lincoln "Mamma," just as her own daughters did. Dennis sat on the other side of Betsy. He seemed to be enjoying himself most of all. He sopped up his last drop of golden honey on his last piece of cornbread.
"Perhaps a little better piece of steak?" "No this looks fine." Her enthusiasm was not mere politeness. "I clean forgot your hot biscuits." And away he darted. When he came back with a heaping plate of hot biscuits, Sally Lunn and cornbread, she was eating as heartily as any of her neighbors.

And how Bill would enjoy his dinner!
There was none in the cabin that day and I said so. She didn't believe me. She set her papoose on the floor beside the fireplace, and went to the cupboard. There wasn't a crumb there except cornbread, and she didn't want that. She said: 'Brod! Brod! "She learned that from the Germans in the settlement. I shook my head.
The child knew that it was not later than two o'clock, having counted the hours eagerly since early morning, and having eaten her bit of cornbread and bacon full two hours before. She stopped her horse for the fortieth time, however, to get the angle of her shadow on the ground and to confirm her calculations.
Chunk, who was stuffing a chicken and cornbread into a haversack, reassured her. "Doan you worry, Miss Lou," he said. "Dis yere chicken gwine ter foller 'im right slam troo eberyting till hit cotch up," and he galloped after his new "boss" in a way to make good his words. Miss Lou sank wearily on the doorstep of Aun' Jinkey's cabin where the reader first made her acquaintance.
Priscilla's face flushed, and Peggy seeing her look of annoyance, created a diversion by springing to her feet. "Time to get supper. I'm as hungry as a wolf, now that I stop to think about it. How does cornbread and fried fish strike the crowd?" "O Peggy," Priscilla forgot her vexation in the importance of the announcement to be made, "the frying-pan has been borrowed!" "Borrowed!"
