I've become a coarse man in the fight, but my heart is true to the ideals and principles of the South. I have dreams, too, of the day when the best blood blood such as yours, sir, recognizes the need of the hills and comes back with its tradition and force to to reclaim us-all socially, religiously, and and morally. It will mean sacrifice, sir.
Desperation gave courage to Mary. If all were lost but her physical strength and bravado, then she must use them. "You did what you wanted to do with him as was yours," she panted; "you helped him away, and left us-all to starve. You leave Molly to me and " "Stop!" cried Morley, unable to hear the brutal repetition. "You would sell the the child to Teale and his kind?" "It's the only way, Mart.
"There's something as allus holds us-all from getting away. It began back there in grandfather's day it's settled on us-all like a death grip." Sandy listened as if already he was far and apart from all the sordid, little hampering things that made up the life of Lost Hollow. "What did grandfather do?" he asked, like one who had no special interest in the matter.
The glow showed yellow through the western sky, The Gap was growing purplish and dim, and just then, across a foot bridge over the river, a hurrying, bent form appeared. It swayed perilously Jed heard a muttered curse. "Gawd A'mighty," he breathed, "it's ole Aunt Becky come back to add to trubble after us-all hopin' she was daid or something."
Go home like sheep and wait for the shearer and the butcher." The mayor leaned forward and tried to locate the agitator. "Hasn't the gentleman anything to say about goats? He's missing an excellent opportunity!" Morrison showed the alert air of a hunter trying to flush game in a covert. The provoking query had its effect. "Yes, that's what you call us-all you rulers call us the goats!"
The years of labour, self-sacrifice and fixed purpose stirred him strangely, and the touch of spirit introduced into the boy's voice when he approached the end found an echo in Markham's heart. "I'm going to learn and then go back and help them-all who can't help themselves," Sandy explained, "for I know, sir. No one what does not know, could ever do it! Us-all fears strangers.
Where has he gone?" "Nobody ain't knowing exactly just gone! I expect he'll turn up again when his stomick done clutch him. Dat chile never done us-all no 'commodation job, but he was too good to live up to that cabin in de Holler. If I knowed whar he done hide himself, I clar I'd fotch him some victuals even if he was sharp as a sarpint's tooth in a bargain."
Lansing Hertford went off like a shot but them Hertfords allus lit out like they was chased never could stand loneliness and lack of luxury. Queenie, she done died the winter following that summer; died of lung trouble off to some hospital way off somewhere, and Miss Ann she settled down an old woman from that time on! You can't get her to speak Starr's name. You never could. Us-all tried.
When love such love as our mountain men know takes a woman into a cabin it generally shuts God out! I know this, and the children that come into life by way of our cabins are well! I was a cabin boy, Lans! Women need God oftener than we-all do. Love puts a claim on them that it never does on us-all. Love demands suffering of them; responsibility that man never knows.
The South is slow with us-all, dear, but up there in the North I awakened! I think it came the truth, dear, when she the girl, ran to Lans. In the mighty times of a woman's life she can only run that way to one man!
