Men are not invited." "I know. But I've got to go there with you. You ain't goin' off travelin' by yourself." "I want to know! How long are you goin' to be gone?" "I'm not sure. Three or four days probably." "And I've got to stay here alone?" "Why, you won't be alone. Cousin Percy will be here, and there's Azuba." "Yes, and that everlastin' Hapgood, I suppose.

I wonder if they haint afraid, that when they have left their own country and sailed away for that home of Everlastin' freedom, they will be sent back agin, and not allowed to land. But it comferted me quite a good deal to meditate on't, that that land didn't have no laws aginst foreign emigration.
