Gamp who presided at his birth declared he could not live, and if he did, would "allus be a no-'count." But he made a brave fight for breath, and his crossness and peevishness through the first years of his life were proof of vitality. He must have been a queer toddler when he wore dresses, with his immense head and deep-set black eyes and serious ways.
My mother and father'll tend to him. They won't mind." "Humph!" grunted the long-nosed man. "Well, let's see. But I don't intend to break my back for some no-'count trash such as this is. Come," he ordered, to the figure. "Get out o' here." He grasped the figure by the arms and pulled him forward. Charley tried to get behind and boost.
Then, "Wait till I come back," she bade him, and his vigorous nod assured her that he understood what she said. She hurried away to the shack. She tarried only long enough to tell her father of the straggler and to hear his objections at her "fussin'" with a "no-'count Injun." Returning, she found her charge patiently waiting for her.

"He ain't gwine let me tetch him," said Chany, feebly dabbing at him with the handkerchief. "Do, pray, gal, don't be so no-'count," Mammy answered.

"Gi' me de hankcher," said Mammy, with an air of withering contempt.
After more hobbling, he burst forth again. "Ah tell y', Dallas, Ah won't hev' you gals meetin' them no-'count soldiers " She smiled at him. "We don't want to meet any soldiers," she answered. "But there are women at the Fort women like mother. It seems a shame we can't know them." "Y' mother raised y' t' be's fine a lady as any of 'em over thar!" "Maybe that's true.
