Incontinently the young man turned to the girl and forced the traveling-bag into her hands. "Run for it!" he begged her. "Don't stop to argue. You promised run! I'll come...."
The dark-skinned girls, on their knees in a corner, were gathering together the shirts and stockings destined for the parental traveling-bag.
A hesitating voice from the balcony said, "Clarence!" It was his wife's voice, but modified and gentler more like her voice as he had first heard it, or as if it had been chastened by some reminiscence of those days. It was his wife's face, too, that looked down on his paler than he had seen it since he entered the house. She was shawled and hooded, carrying a traveling-bag in her hand.

"Gran'!" replied the servitor. "She mighty hard to dus'. Dus' git in all 'em wrinkles. Yessuh, she mighty hard to dus'."
