Tell me Elsy," he continued, "tell me what caused my wife to be turned out of the city?" In compliance with his request, the girl briefly told him of the villainy of Awtry, and the infamous manner in which he had acted towards Mrs. Wentworth. She then went on to relate that, failing to achieve his purpose, Awtry had succeeded in having her expelled from New Orleans.
"Yes sah," replied Elsy, as she turned away to do her master's bidding. "And now," remarked the Doctor, "we will go on and find out who these people are. But before we go, I had better purchase a few things that will relieve the necessities of the child."
"I see Lou's arm rise 'n' fall a couple of times at the start 'n' ole Friendless finished fifth, his ears laid back, sulkier 'n a grass widow at a married men's picnic. "'You let him do better to-day, says Elsy. 'Isn't it time to allow him to win? "'He wins his next out, I says. "I tell Harms we're ready fur the big show 'n' I looks fur a nice race to drop the good thing into.
"It ain't true," said Elsy, "my mistis is a born lady, and she wouldn't steal for anyting. I don't beliebe a word ob it." "I don't beliebe neider," replied the old woman, "but for all dat, dey did carry her to prison because dey say she steal money."
"Elsy is at the top of the steps lookin' kind of haughty, 'n' say! he's got a bundle of tickets a foot thick in his hand. "'What dead one's name is on all them soovenirs? I says, pointin' to the tickets. "'Mr. Blister, he says, 'after our conversation yesterday I made inquiry concerning the rights of a trainer.
The old woman then left the house and returned to her cabin, where she found the little boy amusing himself on the floor with some marbles. Dr. Humphries, accompanied by Harry, returned home at the usual hour. After dinner Elsy requested him to speak to her for a few minutes a request which he promptly complied with. "Well, my good, girl, what do you wish with me?" he enquired.
Harry and the old gentleman remained silent for some time, when Elsy entered the room. No sooner did the girl see the boy than she recognized her master's child, and taking him in her arms caressed him with all the exhibitions of affection the negro is capable of. "Dis am Mas Alfred own chile" she exclaimed to Harry and the old gentleman, "and who would thought dat him would be libin' here."
"Did not your mistress state where she was going," he asked. "No, sah," replied Elsy. "My mistis jest told me good bye when she left wid de children. I promised her I would get away from de Yankees, but she forgot to tell me whar she was gwine to lib." "Did she bring out plenty of money with her?" he enquired. "Yes, sah," Elsy answered. She had seen the sum of money possessed by Mrs.
"My poh mistis," remarked Elsy, bursting into tears, "I knowed dat some bad ting would happen to her and I was in town so long and neber eben sawed her." "Poh lady," observed the old negro, "she look bery bad and sorrowful like, aldough she didn't cry when de chile die; but she tan up by de bedside and look 'pon de dead face widout sayin' a word it made me feel bad to see her."
Once, and only once, was she made aware that the scandal tongues of her neighbors were being used detrimental to her honor; and then the information was given by her slave Elsy, who overheard a conversation between two of her neighbors not at all complimentary to her, and which the faithful negress lost no time in repeating to her mistress, with the very indignant remark that, "ef dem people nex' doh fancy dey can do anyting to take away your name, dey's much mistaken, as I will tell you ebery ting dey say 'bout you, an' you will know what to do."
