"Yis, honey, Missus am right. De idee! Sech quality as you in pahnaship wid ole Aun' Sheba!" and she laughed at the preposterous relationship. "Perhaps it needn't be known," said Mara, daunted for a moment. Then the necessities in the case drove her forward, and, remembering that her aunt was unable to suggest or even contemplate anything practicable, she said resolutely, "Let it be known.
"Well now, honey, I habn't had a bite nudder, an' I'se gwine to take dinneh heah ef you'se willin'." "Why, surely, Aun' Sheba. It's little we have, you but know I'd share my last crust with you." Again the guest was bubbling over with good-natured merriment. "We ain't got to de las' crus' yit, an' I couldn't make my dinneh on a crus' nohow. Dar's one ting I'se jes' got to 'sist on in de pahnaship.
Indeed it would be a great relief if her basket could be filled for her, and she said, heartily, "Takes some time, honey, you know, fer an idee to git into my tick head, but when it gits dar it stick.

"So you am, Missy, so you am, fer I taught you mysef." "Aun' Sheba, suppose we go into partnership." "Pahnaship!" ejaculated Aun' Sheba in bewilderment. "Oh, Mara!" Mrs. Hunter expostulated indignantly.
"Aun' Sheba, I could cheat you out af your two black eyes." "Dey see mo' dan you tink, Missy," she replied, nodding sagaciously. "Yes, I reckon they do, but my eyes must look after your interests as well as my own. I am going to be an honest partner. Do you see this book?" "What dat ar got to do wid de pahnaship?" "You will see. It will prevent you from ever losing a penny that belongs to you."
