"My soul!" said Katy. "You're jist crazy. I don't belave a word you're telling' me." "But I can prove it, because I have the letter and the bank book," said Linda. Katy threw her arms around the girl and kissed the top of her head and cried over her and laughed at the same time and patted her and petted her and ended by saying: "Oh, lambie, if only the master could be knowin' it."
I never let on, an away we went, me not even knowin' the horses but, say, if you'd seen me throw them leaders clean to the top of the manure till the nigh horse was scrapin' the side of the barn to make it, an' the off hind hub was cuttin' the corner post of the paddock to miss by six inches.
