The sight of that boy gallantly waging with puny, black arms so unequal a battle touched the deep springs in the hearts of his audience, and they were swept by a wave of sympathy and admiration. But the effect upon me of "Shiny's" speech was double; I not only shared the enthusiasm of his audience, but he imparted to me some of his own enthusiasm.
His oration was Wendell Phillips's "Toussaint L'Ouverture," a speech which may now be classed as rhetorical even, perhaps, bombastic; but as the words fell from "Shiny's" lips their effect was magical. How so young an orator could stir so great enthusiasm was to be wondered at.
A few days later I moved my trunk, piano, my music, and most of my books to his home; the rest of my books I divided between "Shiny" and "Red." Some of the household effects I gave to "Shiny's" mother and to two or three of the neighbors who had been kind to us during my mother's illness; the others I sold.
"Some day, when you've got time I'd like to talk wit' youse about gettin' some fall money." "Nothin' doin', Shiny. I'm not backin' you," said Jerry coldly. "You've got to go up the river." "Youse promised " "Aw, what the hell's eatin' you?" Shiny's low voice carried a plaintive whine. "If you'd speak to de judge " "Forget it." Durand brushed the plea away with a motion of his hand.
