I were comin' down de street, on mah way t' a whitewashin' job, when I seen yo', an yo' lickitysplit machine," for so Eradicate designated a motorcycle. "I knowed it were yo', an' I didn't laik de looks ob dat man. Den I see he had hold ob you, an' I t'ought he were a burglar. So I yelled t' Boomerang t' hurry up.
I've tried and tried, but I'll make you safe. I'll give you a mortgage until I can turn 'round." So I saw how Rodney Barnes, like other settlers in Lickitysplit, had gone into bondage to the landlord. "How much do you owe on this place?" Barnes asked. "Seven hundred an' fifty dollars," said my uncle. "Is it due?" "It's been due a year an' if I have to pay that note I'll be short my interest."
The man lifted me in his arms and held me close to his breast and tried to comfort me. I remember seeing the Silent Woman pass while I was in his arms. "Tell me what's your name," he urged. "Barton Baynes," I said as soon as I could speak. "Where is your father?" "In Heaven," I answered, that being the place to which he had moved, as I understood it. "Where do you live?" "In Lickitysplit."
Yet we thought it paid there in Lickitysplit. All over the hills men and women were turning their efforts and strength into these slender streams of money forever flowing toward the mortgagee. Mr. Dunkelberg had seen Benjamin Grimshaw and got him to give us a brief extension. They had let me stay out of school to work. I was nearly thirteen years old and rather strong and capable.
