It warn't ebery white pusson he could hab trusted wid it. 'Cause yer know, Bobby, money's a mighty temptin' thing. Dey tells me dat Marster Robert los' a heap ob property by de war; but Marse Robert war always mighty good ter Uncle Dan'el and Aunt Katie.

The colonel stands wonderful well with our folks, and he 'll not let all this first-rate land, with such capital betterments, go out of the family without an iffort, I conclude but then I calcilate on his being killed there must be a disperate lot on 'em shot, afore the war's over, and he is as likely to be among 'em as another. Dan'el thinks the colonel has the look of a short-lived man.
Calthea isn't as young as she was, but she's wonderful lively on her feet yit, and there ain't many that could get ahead of her walkin' or bargainin'." "And she keeps the store?" asked Mrs. Cristie. "Yes," said the other; "she keeps it, and in more ways than one. You see, when Dan'el died and that was two years ago last March he left everything to Calthea, and the store with the rest.
"You sent your cards in," she said as if with sudden recollection, "to remind me that you'd kept your father's name?" "Nothing will ever induce either of us to change it," was the answer. "You're very hard on me, son Dan'el," she said at last; "for you know you was always my favourite son." A touching thing to say to such an old man; but there was no reply.
