No, she must go on lying to the end, until she was safely married, and then she would turn over a new leaf altogether. While she sat there, her elbows between her knees, her chin on her hands, engrossed in thought, Annie entered and began to dust the room. Laura watched her in moody silence for a few minutes. Then she said: "Annie!" "Yassum."
"Good-evening," and Whately went to his room to remove the dust of his ride and prepare for the late supper which his aunt had ordered for him. This lady, hearing his step in the hall, hastened downstairs and called for Zany. "Yassum," came in quick response. The young woman emerged from the dining-room looking as stolid as a wooden image.
Yassum, put her in the hall room an' 'fo' Gawd I'll make that ol' Billy keep his feet out'n the oven, if not this summer, nex' winter. He's the orneris' nigger fer wantin' ter sit with his feet in the oven." "Then, Mother, may we keep the guest chamber for the girls? Please say yes!" begged Nan.
She stood in awe of her mistress when she was in ill-humor. "Yassum!" While the negress was in the inner room taking the garments from the cupboards, Laura continued busily arranging the contents of the trunk, placing garments here, and some there, sorting them out. While she was thus engaged, with her back to the door, the door leading to the outer corridor opened, and Brockton appeared.
You may take them down, Sam, but if it is too bad you know what I mean, too many people hurt bring them right back." "Yassum, I'll do that there!" agreed Sam, glad himself to get the chance to see what all the excitement was about. "Come along, chilluns!" he added, with a smile. "Oh, now we can go!" cried Flossie, as she raced over and took one of Sam's hands. "Now we can go!" "Yep!
"Yassum, dat shore am nice!" he went on, talking to himself as he admired the present. "I shore got t' put dat in a good box! An' dish year note, too. Let's see what it done say on de outside." Eradicate held the envelope carefully upside down, and read or rather pretended to read the name and address.
The ticket is for a hundred and ten dollars. Keep ten for yourself, and hurry." Annie gasped from sheer excitement. "Ten for myself?" she grinned. "I never seen so much money. Yassum, Miss Laura, yassum." As she went toward the door she turned round, and said: "Ah'm so mighty glad yo' out all yo' trouble, Miss Laura. I says to Mis' Farley, now " Laura cut her off short.
Looks like it ain't 'zactly grabby fer me ter git a holiday onct every fifty years." "Well, if " Miss Ann tried again. "Yassum, I done filled all the wood boxes in the house an' on the po'ch. I done split up enough kindlin' ter las' a week. I done scrubbed the kitchen an' cleaned out the cow shed an' put fresh straw in Cupid and Puck's stalls.
"But, Billy " began Miss Ann. "Yassum, I ain't gonter be gone long. It ain't gonter be mo'n three or fo' days, or maybe five or six, but anyhow I's gonter be back here in three shakes er a dead sheep's tail. I kin see, as well as you kin, that Miss Judy air kinder tuckered out what with teachin' an' servin' up them suppers to the street cyar men.
"Billy, I am sorry to leave the neighborhood without seeing that lovely girl the one who sent me the gift and to whom the ball was tendered. She is in reality my kinswoman. I have been tracing the relationship and find she is the same kin as my cousins here at Buck Hill the young people I mean. I am sorry I did not tell her so." "Yassum! Maybe some day you kin claim kin with her.
