"Yes, and I'm goin' to buy me a gun and a nag with my money what I earn," put in Pony explosively. "'Course I'll take you-all to ride." He added the saving clause under Milo's reproving eye. "Sis' Johnnie, don't you want me to earn money and buy a hawse and a gun, and a and most ever'thing else?" Johnnie looked down into the blue eyes of the little lad who had crept close to her chair.
There was more when later Mavis had strolled down toward the barn to leave the two alone. "Is Mavis goin' to live with you all the time?" "Hit looks like hit she brought over ever'thing she has." The mother smiled suddenly, looked to see that the girl was out of sight, and then led the way into the house and up into the attic, where she reached behind the rafters.
I've done most ever'thing though; used ter work on a farm, and puttered round a saw-mill some in the Arkansaw pineries. Aim ter strike a job at somethin' and go back thar where I know folks. Nobody won't give a feller nuthin' in this yer God-fer-saken country; haint asked me ter set down fer a month. Back home they're allus glad ter have a man eat with 'em. I'll sure be all right thar."
"Why didn't you tell us what you were goin' to do?" inquired Uncle Henry, reproachfully. "If I'd known about it, I'd 'a put on my Sunday clothes." "I'll 'splain ever'thing as soon as we get to your rooms," promised Dorothy. "You're in great luck, Uncle Henry and Aunt Em; an' so am I! And oh! I'm so happy to have got you here, at last!"
You knows Niggers aint s'posed to always know de right from de wrong. Dey aint got Marsters to teach 'em now. For de white folks to come down here an' do lak dey do, I tells you, it aint right. De quality white folks ought-a do somethin' bout it. "I's had a right hard life, but I puts my faith in de Lawd an' I know ever'thing gwine come out all right.
"I reckon I rickollect ever'thing that happened out thar a sight better'n you. I ain't forgot nothin' anything." The boy's sober and half-sullen tone made Margaret catch her breath with a sudden vague alarm. Unconsciously she quickened her pace, but, already, she was mistress of an art to which she was born and she said, lightly: "Now, that's MUCH better."
Is it true dat in all dem furrin countries Russia an' Germany an' Bombay an' all dat the po' people, w'ite or black or whutever dey color is, is fixin' to rise up in they might an' tek the money an' de gover'mint an' de fine houses an' the cream of ever'thing away frum dem dat's had it all 'long?"
After the necessary moment of talk, the mulatto inquired for Cissie. The yellow woman seemed slightly ill at ease. "Cissie ain't so well, Peter." "She's not ill?" "N-no; but the excitement an' ever'thing " answered Vannie, vaguely. In the flush of his plans, Peter was keenly disappointed. "It's very important, Mrs. Dildine." Vannie's dried yellow face framed the ghost of a smile.
"Ever'thing a young man's got to say to a gal is ve'y important, Peter." It seemed to Peter a poor time for a jest; his face warmed faintly. "It it's about some of the details of our our wedding." "If you'll excuse her to-day, Peter, an' come after supper " Peter hesitated, and was about to go away when Cissie's voice came from an inner room, telling her mother to admit him.
Ain't I clean druv out my wits a-thinkin' ever'thing over, and where in the name of natur' am I goin' to do it all, with them horrid gasoline stoves no bigger'n an old maid's thimble, and Pasqually gone off s'archin' with the rest, and no'count the heft of the time and my sins!"
