The auctioneer's instructions had been to sell the two together, if possible, if not, at all events to sell the boy, as he would command a good price, and money must be raised. Kizzie went wild when she saw her boy knocked off to a man who refused to take her, even as a gift! O angels in heaven, what pitiful sights do ye not behold upon this earth of ours!
Bob Bucknor, "rowing with each other isn't finding out where Cousin Ann has gone. Kizzie! Aunt Em'ly!" he shouted, "get that cracked ice and mint now. Come on, you fellows, and let's see if we can find any inspiration in the bottom of a frosted goblet." A Great Transformation
I will leave the old life behind me, and Miss Rusha too, thank the Lord. Ah, poor Master Duncan! what a life he must live of it the best master that ever servant had good, kind Master Duncan! The trees hide Kennons from view; I shall not see it again. I would liked to have said farewell to Bessie, and to Chloe and Amy, and to Miss Rusha's Kizzie, too.
He had always been determined to revisit his mother. The visit had been doubly pleasant, since he had fought for her liberty and his own. When Kizzie arrived at her son's home, and was introduced to his wife and the unsuspected baby, she was again speechless.
You is jest like her as two peas in the pod and I reckin I'll have to take a stick to you like I did to yo' father when he was most growed up and stole all the fruitcake I had done baked in July fer Christmas," she said with a wide smile of great affection upon her very large mouth.

"I will request that Madam black Kizzie to make a good cream gravy to me," I made answer to her with merriment.
I was too tired to say no. She came to me at daybreak, with poor Kizzie dead in her hands. He died like Desdemona, smothered with pillows. All I can do in his honor has been done by this inadequate recital of his charms and his capacity.
I am sure I do not know her at all. She is pretty and no doubt is good, but she is naturally common and evidently very pushing." "All right, my dear, all right! You know best," responded Mr. Bucknor. At this juncture Kizzie announced dinner, which was a relief to all of them. "Take my arm, Cousin Ann," said Jeff gallantly.
And his friends averred that the bird grew so large and impressive that it seemed to be changing into an <i>eagle</i>. But Kizzie was the stronger influence. I really grew afraid of him, as he liked to watch my eyes, and once picked at them, as he always picked at any shining bit.
The price of her agony, the money obtained for Joe, was sent to New York, and returned to Mrs. Rush in glittering jewels. Had this haughty woman been capable of realizing her sin, the showy baubles would have melted in the fiery furnace of her shame and contrition. Kizzie became a changed woman; crazed, as some thought. Joe had been her baby, and her baby still at fourteen.
