As soon as they were gone Pirlaps and Avrillia drew a long, relieved breath; then Pirlaps tossed his step to Yassuh and seized Avrillia about the waist, and whirled her up and down the silver paths in the gayest, most fantastic little dance Sara had ever seen. Presently they stopped before Sara.
The young man became engaged to a girl of the neighborhood who had a reputation for unusual beauty and also for a very violent temper. Noticing that Uncle Mose never mentioned his approaching marriage, the planter said: "Mose, you know I am going to marry Miss Currier?" "Yassuh, I knows it." "I haven't heard you say anything about it," persisted the planter. "No, suh," said Mose.
Colonel Bohun essayed to speak, cleared his throat angrily, and indicated Duncan with a courteous gesture. "Scipio," said he, "this gentleman will have a glass of wine with me." "Yassuh!" stammered the negro, overcome with astonishment. Bohun turned to his guest. "Won't you be seated, Mr. Duncan?" he said.
Sara had to put her hands behind her back. "Yassuh!" shouted Pirlaps; and Sara had never before heard him speak angrily. "The messy little rascal! I can't even kick him to wake him up I'd never get my foot out! Where are the tongs? Here, Sara, you take the poker, and help me with him!"
"An' also, dey suttinly do git up some mouty curious laws." He paused a moment as though in a still slightly dazed contemplation of the statutory idiosyncrasies of the Caucasian, and then added the key words: "F'rinstance, now, dey got a law dat you got to keep lions an' tigers in a cage. Yassuh, da's de law.
"He war peekin' at yuh-all, an' when he seed Ah sawed him he snooked an' Ah didn't sawed him no moah." "Is that all?" questioned Grace. "Yassuh. Yes'm." "Quite likely it was the man who owns the cornfield. He probably was looking the crop over to see if it were fit to cut.
"I thought so," said Avrillia, with relief, "but Sara seemed to think there were more than seventy." Then her eyes fell upon the trousers of Pirlaps, who had risen and was coming toward them now, with Yassuh rolling along behind with the step. "O Pirlaps," said Avrillia, her sweet voice full of reproach, "you haven't changed your trousers!
Ants are his favorite food, but Avrillia didn't put up any this summer, so I had to send Yassuh down to the colony to get one of my uncles for him. Poor Uncle," said Pirlaps, looking very sad for a moment, "I hated to do it; but he was only a half-uncle and quite old, and lately he had grown so thin that he was hardly more than a three-eighths one.
Don't stall around and " "Yassuh." "I suppose we should ask permission before we camp on private property," suggested Elfreda. "Not knowing where to do so, might it not be wise to back up a little?" "What do you mean?" asked Grace. "Move away from the trail and into the thicket where we shall be both out of sight and probably on no man's land, as it were."
He smiled and spoke with a joy of soul, a transparency of innocence, a rapture of love, that made his ugliness positively endearing even apart from the entranced recognition they radiated. "Ladies at home? Yassuh," he said, with an ecstasy as if he announced the world's war suddenly over, all oceans safe, all peoples free.
