Ha, ha! Primmie, you are well, there aren't many like you, I'm sure. Now I must go. Well, what is it?" "Oh, nothin', only I ain't told you why I think Mr. Bangs may be comin' down with dropsy. You see, Aunt Lucy this Lucifer one I've been tellin' you about she had it. I only remember her 'long towards her last. She wan't heavin' any teakittles at folks then; my savin' soul, no!

Snow smiled feebly at her grandson. "I guess you think we're funny folks, Albert," she said. "But Rachel is one hired help in a thousand and she has to be treated just so."
