Merton, with a sliding bow, had already quitted the room, and Caroline with her. "Come back, Sophy! Cecilia, come back!" said Mr. Merton, settling his jabot. "Oh, dear Evy! poor dear Evy! Evy is ill!" said Sophy; "I may go to Evy? I must go, Papa!" "No, my dear, you are too noisy; these children are quite spoiled, Mr. Aubrey."
I wuz jes a small boy when my boss carrid me away from Murry. My boss carrid me to Lexinton. I staid wid Ole Man Scruggs a long time. I jes don no how long. My boss carrid me to his brother, Ole Man Finch Scruggs. He run a sto and I had to sweep de flo uv de sto, wash dishes and clean nives and falks evy day.
