"Hol' on, Eli!" said Isom, easily. "Don't git skeered! Hit's nobody but me. Whar ye been?" Crump laughed, so quick was he disarmed of suspicion. "Jes up the river a piece to see Aunt Sally Day. She's a fust cousin o' mine by marriage." Jsom's right hand was slipping back as if to rest on his hip. "D'you say you'd been 'convicted, Eli?" Crump's answer was chantlike. "Yes, Lawd reckon I have."
The words were as follows: Had a lovin' mother, Been climbin' up de hill so long; She been hopin' git to heaben in due time Befo' dem heaben do's close! And then the chorus, voicing first a passionate entreaty, then rising in the final bars to a great exultant shout: Den chain dat lion down, Good Lawd! Den chain dat lion down! Oh, please! Good Lawd, done chained dat lion down!
May de Lawd wither de hand what dar now! Cindy promise her sweet lamb she ain't gwine tell. Miss Amy got hurt, suh, on de head." Doctor James stepped to a stand where a handsome lamp burned, and turned the flame low. "Stay here with your mistress," he ordered, "and keep quiet so she will sleep. If she wakes, give her the toddy. If she grows any weaker, let me know.
Chad did not trust himself to look back, but, as he rode through the pasture to the pike gate, his ears heard, never to forget, the chatter of the blackbirds, the noises around the barn, the cry of the peacock, and the wailing of the ploughman: Trouble, O Lawd! Nothin' but trouble
It was nearly over and the minister was about to announce the Doxology, when old Deacon Swift arose. "Des' a minute, brothahs," he said. "I want to mek a 'fession. I was too ha'd an' too brash in my talk de othah night, an' de Lawd visited my sins upon my haid. He struck me in de bosom o' my own fambly. My own son went wrong. Pray fu' me!" Polly Jackson was a model woman.
Gray hastened to her son's room with a pair of scissors in her hand. Marcy went to the coachman's cabin and felt for the latch-string; but it had been pulled in, and that proved that old Morris was inside. He pounded upon the door, and called the black man's name impatiently. "O Lawd! Who dat?" came in muffled tones from under the blankets.
I know you're gwine ter do de bes' you kin fer me, an' I'm sorry I can't he'p you no mo' wid it; but ef dere should be any accident, er ef you can't git me out er here, don' bother yo' min' 'bout it no mo', suh, an' don' git yo'se'f ixcited, fer you know de doctuh says, suh, dat you can't stan' ixcitement; but jes' leave me in de han's er de Lawd, suh, He'll look after me, here er hereafter.
But Lawd knows dey ain' no tellin' whar she'd go, 'less'n she got her min' back sence she lef'." Tryon's mare was in good condition. He had money in his pocket and nothing to interfere with his movements.
De road has been long an' I's almos' wore out, but I'll git home atter while, an' when I does, I gwine tell de Lawd erbout de folks down yere." Tom and Lou came from the spring house, carrying a small jar, and the old man exclaimed: "Why, it must be heavy." His wife knew that he was charicaturing her and she stood contemptuous, with arms folded, as he sprang forward to assist the two "youngsters."
My sin is so dahk, Lawd, so dahk and so deep, My grief is so po', Lawd, so po' and so mean, I wisht I could weep, Lawd, I wisht I could weep, Oh, I wisht I could weep like Mary Mahgaleen! Oh, Sorroh! sweet Sorroh! come, welcome, and stay! I'd welcome thy swode howsomever so keen, If I could jes' pray, Lawd, if I could jes' pray, Oh! if I could jes' pray, like Mary Mahgaleen!
