"He's a sort of walking monkey-puzzle, I guess," said the voice, and a roguish laugh followed the words.
"Well, Dilsey," said the doctor with a roguish twinkle of the eye, "don’t you think he ought to be paid?" Aunt Dilsey began to cry, and said, "I never thought that marster would laugh at old Aunt Dilsey." "Neither will I," said the doctor. Then tossing her a picayune, he said, "take that, Aunt Dilsey.
