I tink he went before it was light in de morning. Me seem to remember dat." The negro nodded. "Me remember him bery well, sah. Tree heavy boxes and one bag, and he only gave me a quarter dollar for taking dem to de station. Mighty mean man dat." "Do you know what train he went by?" "Yes, sah, it was de six o'clock train for de Souf." "You can't find out where his luggage was checked for?"
I was bo'n an' raised in de Souf, an' in de Souf I stay ontwell I die. Ef I have to go Nawth to injoy my freedom I won't have it. I'll quit wo'kin fu' it." Ben was positive, but he felt uneasy, and the next day he told his master of the whole matter, and Mr. Raymond went down to talk to Viney. She met him with a determination that surprised and angered him.
This morning, after a pursuit of three days, our soldiers brought in the Souf Arabs, which has made a great clamour in the town, as it always happens in disputed cases, the people arranging themselves on different sides as partisans, some for the Rais and others for the Souafah. His Excellency said he would not, but merely reprimand them for spreading false news.
Being a good man, the system of extortion which he is obliged to put in practice to meet the demands of the Pasha, makes his heart sick. His Excellency assured me, that if the Souf Arabs had not lately brought some money, with which they purchased slaves for the markets of Algeria, there would have been no money left in the country.
All our people rose early, and got off as quickly as possible. We could not breathe freely until we were out of the clutches of Ouweek. Our people encouraged me along. The Souf Arab, who was so cowardly, said: "Why didn't you say, 'Mahomet is the prophet of God, then you would have had to pay no money." I called him a fool, and asked him, if all the people didn't pay something as well as myself?
Davis will rule de norf. But we knowd it warnt so cause de Bible don't say so. De Bible says that de souf shall prevail for a time and den de norf shall rise up and obertrow dem." Where the old man found this strange prophecy he did not say, but many of the slaves declared this to be Bible truth and all asserted it in the same way.
"De army don't come dis way, dey foller de road by de Souf Forks." "Where do they go then?" "Dunno, Mars'r; dey don't tell whar de go," replied the mulatto, shaking his head. This man seemed to be intelligent, and know more about the region than most of the negroes. Deck bade them good-by, and resumed his march. "I dunno's we need go any furder," said Life, after they had gone a few rods.
Den dey say, "Dat ole Lyon? Dat ole Ablishner? Dat ole scoun'el what want to whip de Souf? To free de niggas 'mongst us?" I say, "Don' know 'bout dat. Massa Lyon not say nuffin to me 'bout dat." Den dey sajr, "Whar you come from, anyhow?" I tole 'em I comed from up in de State whar Massa Daniel comed from.
Buckingham some ingenious reasoning employed by him to fix the locality of Bozor, Ramoth, Jabesh, and other towns situated in Gilead, and which were rendered important by the various events recorded in the sacred volume. About six miles from Djerash towards the north stands the village of Souf, on the brow of a lofty hill, and flanked by a deep ravine.
"Got t' git a good strong box fo' dish yeah," murmured Eradicate, as he looked at the beautiful mahogany present Tom had turned over to him to take to Mary. "Mah Landy! Dat suttinly am nice; Ah! Um! Jest laik some ob de old mahogany furniture dat was in our fambily down Souf." Eradicate did not mean his family, exactly, but the one in which he had been a slave.
