Another gleam of alarm and then a fine, awesome courage. Robelia stared in panic. "The nearest white mud marl in the State, Robelia, is forty miles south of here." "Is d' dat so, mist'ess?" "Yes, and so you also are travellers, Euonymus." "Trav' y' yass'm, I I reckon you mought call us trav'luz, in a manneh, yass'm." "Well, my next town is thirty miles north of " "Nawth!"
March Jane seemed made of angelic "yass'ms," and agreed, with a strange, sweet readiness to go to Widewood and assume her duties in her mistress's absence, which would be for a few days only. "And you'll go" "yass'm" "with my son" "yass'm" "in the buggy" "yass'm" "and begin work" "yass'm" "just as though" "yass'm" "I were there" "yass'm." Mrs.
Euonymus broke in, thinking furiously. "Now, if instead of hiring just your sister and her daddy I should " "Yass'm!" "Suppose I should take all four of you along, as though you were my slaves " "De time bein'," Euonymus alertly slipped in. "Certainly, that's all. How would that do?" "Oh, mist'ess! kin you work dat miracle?" "I can do it if it suits you." "Lawd, it suit' us!
"Why, eh, y' yass'm. Oh, yass'm, ef you say so, my mistress; howsomever, you know what de good book say' 'bout de Ethiopium." "Can't change yes, I know; but this would be only for an hour or two and in the dark." "It'd have to be pow'ful dahk," sighed Euonymus, and from Robelia's sunbonnet came "Unh!" Rebecca interposed: "An' still, o' co'se, we all gwine do ezac'ly what you say."
Corinne and Yvonne as they had lain every night since their earliest childhood. "Ah! oh! h'nn!" Mlle. Corinne sprang to an elbow, nervously whispering: "What is it?" "My back do'," he murmured, "stan'in' opem." "Oh, little boy, no, it cannot be! I bolt' it laz' evening when you was praying. You know?" "Yass'm, but it opem now; Marie Madeleine dess gone out thu it." Mlle.
Madame's touch seemed to steady her. "Miss Sally," she moaned, "Miss Sally done got de yaller fever." There was a moment's silence, for we were both too appalled by the news to speak. "Lindy, are you sure?" said the Vicomtesse. "Yass'm, yass'm," Lindy sobbed, "I reckon I'se done seed 'nuf of it, Mistis." And she went into a hysterical fit of weeping.
A pang of duplicity showed in her uplifted glance, yet she murmured again: "Yass'm, I promise you dat." Nevertheless, I had my doubts. A hum of voices told us my two anglers were approaching, and with Rebecca's quieting hand on the pusillanimous Robelia we drew into hiding and saw them cross the corner of a clearing and vanish again downstream. Then, hearing the coach, we went to meet it.
But when I looked again at the absurd Robelia I saw I must help both alike. "Euonymus, did you ever drive a lady's coach?" "Me? No'm, I never drove no lady's coach." "Well, boy, I'm travelling in my own outfit." "Yass'm." "But I hire a new driver and span at each town and send the others back." "Yass'm," said Euonymus. Robelia came nearer.
"Uncle Leviticus," said Barbara, "we expect, of course, to pay you both, you know." "Why, of course!" said Fannie, "you understood that, didn't you?" "Yass'm, o' co'se," interposed Virginia, quickly, while Leviticus drawled, "O the question o' pay is seconda'y! But we'll have to accede, Fudjinia; they can't do without us."
"Oh, yass'm, it wah de salvation o' de Lawd 'pon cloudy nights; but time an' ag'in us had to sepa'ate, 'llowin' fo' to rejine togetheh on de bank o' de nex' creek, an' which, de Lawd a-he'pin' of us, h-it al'ays come to pass; an' so, afteh all, Miss Maud, de one thing what stan' us de bes' frien' night 'pon night, next to Gawd hisse'f, dat wah his clock in de ske-eye."
