"Dar's de hard bread, and de salt, and de butter golly, Massa Dan, you done do dat ting bery fine." "Wait till we get back to the camp before you say any thing. We are not out of danger yet." "But we's got de tings, Dan de coffee, de sugar, and de salt." "Take your oar now, and when we get back we'll have a jolly time." "Bress de Lo'd, yes, Dan," said the delighted Quin, as he grasped the oar.
Berry won't nebber hab no mo' doubt 'bout de Lo'd takin' keer ob ebberybody speshully niggas an' fools.
"Great lo'd, sah," said the pilot, "dat was wonderful indeed!" The captain gazed sternly into the pilot's eye to see if there was the glimmer of a doubt therein, while Paul tumbled into the cabin to suppress his fit of convulsive laughter. During the night the threatened cyclone made its appearance and the "Foam" let go her anchor in Kingston harbor just time to escape the full fury of the storm.
But de good Lo'd was thar, an' I presently got strong enough to get up an' took my slip in han', an' staggered out dat yard, and cum up to July. He stop on de way to see if I was 'live. When we pass de quarters all along, de old men an' women stood at their doors cryin'. When we got out o' sight of de great house, one ole man an' 'oman called us to 'em an' oiled our backs.
I gave them the best new quilt I had, made by a class of Sabbath-school girls, from eight to fifteen years of age, in Wayne County, Michigan. The names of the little girls were written on the blocks they pieced. The old man was quite blind, but he felt of it; then he exclaimed: "Missus, did you say little white gals made this? Lo'd bless the little angels!
Mammy was standing by on the defensive, fearful lest she was about to lose her little charge. "Doan let him take her, Mistah Dane," she cried. "I can't spare Babby. Drive him out ob de house." Pete at once straightened himself up to his full height, and smiled as he looked upon the agitated woman. "Injun no tak' babby," he said. "Injun no cabin. Babby no mamma." "Bress de Lo'd fo' His goodness!"
I wonder if de Good Lo'd made dis place, anyway," and she gazed ruefully around. "It looks to me as if de deb'l had a mighty big hand in it, fo' sich a mixed up contraption of a hole I nebber set my two eyes on befo'. An' to t'ink dat de Cun'l had to leab his nice home in Ol' Connec., an' come to a jumpin'-off place like dis.
Milray was tellin' that he's what they call a pooa lo'd, and that he was carryin' on with the American girls like everything down there in Egypt last winta. I guess if it comes to money you'd have enough to buy him and sell him again." The mention of money cast a chill upon their talk; and Mrs. Lander said gloomily, "I don't know as I ca'e so much for that will Mr. Milray made for me, after all.
De good Lo'd strike 'em down jus like he did de 'Gyptians in de Red Sea, in de midst ob dar wickedness. We didn't kill 'em, Missy Lily." "That's it, Lily," added Dan, indorsing the explanation, though the religious aspect of the case was not so strongly impressed upon his mind as upon that of his pious companion.
He knew all too well that Dane's search had been in vain. He said little that evening, but listened with bowed head as the courier related his experiences during the past few weeks. But Old Mammy was not so reticent, and asked Dane no end of questions, and begged him to bring back her lost darling. "De Lo'd will not let dem Injuns keep my lil'l lamb," she declared.
