You ought to been ashamed of yourself to stand by and hear it saddled on to a lot of poor niggers, and you never say a word for 'em.

"I come heah de night arter you's killed." "What, all that time?" "Yes indeedy." "And ain't you had nothing but that kind of rubbage to eat?" "No, sah nuffn else."

He's always correctin' the guls; I see him take up a book one day, that one of 'em was readin', and when she as't him about it, he said it was rubbage. I guess you couldn't have a betta guide." "Well, that was what I was thinking. I guess I sha'n't do it, though. I sh'd neva have the courage." Clementina laughed and then fell rather seriously silent again.
