Well, early one morning we hid the raft in a good, safe place about two mile below a little bit of a shabby village named Pikesville, and the king he went ashore and told us all to stay hid whilst he went up to town and smelt around to see if anybody had got any wind of the Royal Nonesuch there yet. So we stayed where we was. The duke he fretted and sweated around, and was in a mighty sour way.
Suppose you were born in Pikesville: a thousand people drew their first breath there, and not one of them was like you in character or fate. You were born in some year of our Lord. Thousands upon thousands date from the same year, and each went his own way, "One to long darkness and the frozen tide, One to the peaceful sea!" All this is nothing and accounts for nothing, yet this is all.
So I got a piece of paper and a pencil, all glad and excited, and set down and wrote: Miss Watson, your runaway nigger Jim is down here two mile below Pikesville, and Mr. Phelps has got him and he will give him up for the reward if you send. I felt good and all washed clean of sin for the first time I had ever felt so in my life, and I knowed I could pray now.
