On the first hand Aunt Dilsey was very sensitive, for being naturally active and stirring herself, "She," to use her own words, "couldn’t bar to see folks lazin’ round like thar was nothin’ to do, but to git up and stuff themselves till they’s fit to bust."

Burton, we can't have him lazin' behind, 'cause when he does get back his eyes we don't want him to be too far behind his class." "But what if he doesn't ever get his eyes", Susan?" "Then he'll need it all the more. But he's goin' to get 'em, Mr. Burton. Don't you remember? The nurse said if he got well an' strong he could have somethin' done.
