En' sho' 'nuff, dey didn' had no trouble keep'n' Skundus wak f'm dat time fo'th, fer Cindy turned out ter hab a temper of her own, en' made Skundus walk a chalk-line. "Dis yer boy, Tom," said the old man, straightening out his leg carefully, preparatory to getting up, "is jes' like his gran'daddy. I b'lieve ef somebody didn' wake 'im up he'd sleep till jedgmen' day. Heah 'e comes now.
Why, he go out, an' he hunt up de po' shiverin', bleatin' lambs and brings 'em into de fol'. Don't you bothah 'bout de wes' plantation, sis' Lize." And Uncle Simon hobbled off down the road with surprising alacrity, leaving his interlocutor standing with mouth and eyes wide open. "Well, I nevah!" she exclaimed when she could get her lips together, "I do believe de day of jedgmen' is at han'."
"Oh, hear those awful cries in the street," she said after a moment. "Don't you think we should try to take cousin out?" "If I were not so helpless!" Bodine groaned. "Hannah, wake up and help." "De Jedgmen Day," was the only response. "There is no use to look to her, papa. I'm strong. See, I can lift cousin, she is so light." "No, Ella, it might injure you for life.
Since the house stands we may hope to revive Cousin Sophy before taking her to the street. Come, Hannah, get up and do your best." From her sitting posture on the floor, the old woman only answered in a low terrified monotone, "De Jedgmen Day." "Oh, papa, she's just crazed, and we must do everything ourselves;" and, Ella, with trembling hands and stifled sobs, began to aid her father.
Most fortunately the gas was not extinguished, and when it was still again, Ella rushed to her father, and exclaimed as she helped him up, "Oh, papa, what is this?" "De Jedgmen Day," said a quivering voice. Bodine's face was very white, but his iron nerves did not give way. "Ella," he said firmly, "you must keep calm and do as I say. It is an earthquake.
