I nussed him w'en he wuz er chile an' he dun paid me back mo' den er hunnud times; an' w'en I got ole an' wuz down wid de rheumatiz, an' couldn't sleep in de night w'en de lonesome cow er lowin' on de hill-side, he sot up wid me an' spell out de words o' de Lawd, fur he kain't read right quick.
The correspondence wi' Lucy, to which I hae alluded, subsequently took place; an', for several months durin which I had made, besides, twa or three runs to Glasgow, to see her mony a sweet epistle passed between us epistles fu' o' lowin love, an' sparklin hopes, an' joy.
An' I kem ter-day 'lowin' ye an' me could strike a trade." Once more the bluff man of force turned an anxious look of inquiry to the pale, thoughtful face in the brown and dark green shadows beyond the copper gleam of the still.

Folks say she swore awful ag'in' ye at young Jas's burial, 'lowin' that she'd hunt ye down herse'f, ef the soldiers didn't ketch ye. I hain't seed her sence she got sick; 'pears like ever'body's sick. Mebbe she's a leetle settled down now no tellin'. No use foolin' with her, Rome.

Redbird, I only hit the high places. Jest married Maria, an' I didn't touch earth any too frequent all that summer.
