So strong was this feeling in him that he would not consent to stay on and work for his one-time owner even for a full wage. To the proposition of the planter and the gibes of some of his more dependent fellows he answered, "No, suh, I's free, an' I sholy is able to tek keer o' myse'f. I done been fattenin' frogs fu' othah people's snakes too long now."
Think of what has happened, what might have happened, and what may take place before night!" "Well, honey, hit's a good ting ter stop tinkin' or ter tink slow sometimes. We couldn't keep a gwine as we wus. Our haids ud whirl right off our shol'ers. Hit's all so peaceful now, why doan you go ter yo' room en tek a nap. Mebbe you git berry lil sleep ter-night." "I reckon your advice is good, mammy.
No, Tommy, nary step do you go; you an' Buddy's gwintah stay right heah. Camp-meetin's hain't no place fer brats. Maybe, though, ef you're good, I'll tek you ovah with me some day; or I'll let you go 'long with Rache an' Tom some mawnin', when they tek the baskets uv vi'tuls fur the folks to eat."
He say tell yo' he gwine tek it mighty hawd yo' no come ter gib him de sti'up-cup." "And my father?" "Gone to de lib'ry to wait fo' Massa Pengarbin; yis, Missa."
