"Well, Checkers," I said, when at last I had finished, "How are you this morning, my boy?" "If I felt any better I could n't stand it," he answered, throwing down the paper. "But you do n't look very fit. How did you come out with the boys last night?" "About even," I replied, deprecatorily. He smiled in a most exasperating way. "Now I'll tell you," he said growing suddenly confidential.
"It ain' fittin' fer grapes, fer noo groun' nebber is." "I know it, but" "It ain' no yeathly good fer cotton, 'ca'se it's top low." "Perhaps so; but it will raise splendid corn." "I dunno," rejoined Julius deprecatorily. "It's so nigh de swamp dat de 'coons'll eat up all de cawn." "I think I'll risk it," I answered. "Well, suh," said Julius, "I wushes you much joy er yo' job.
"I wish you could take breakfast with me," said he; "but I know you are to say Mass, and that it would be contrary to rule for you to eat until it is performed."

At last, greatly daring, Salesa arrayed herself in her finest clothes, and with servants carrying gifts of pigs and chickens, went down to the lagoon to pay a visit to the stranger.

"The board was a secret one, and the report was suppressed. Few have seen it, except the late King of France and my master." "And yourself, François?" said the patroon, his manner changing. "Oh, Monsieur!" Deprecatorily.
"Evade their debts, do they?" said the land baron languidly. "What presumption to imitate their betters! That won't do; I need the money." "They claim the rights of the landlord originated in fraud " "No doubt!" Yawning. "My ancestors were rogues!" "Oh, sir" deprecatorily. "If the tenants don't pay, turn them out," interrupted Mauville, listlessly, "if you have to depopulate the country."
