Following him at a discreet distance came old Rad Sampson, who had armed himself with a big butcher knife. "Dar's a light in de office, big boy," whispered the Negro.
It was my woman with the flour-barrel ended up and poundin' on the bottom with the rollin'-pin to get out enough for the last batch of biscuit.
