I expect you'll have two or three bastings before you have been there a week, for she don't put up with any nonsense.

Ah, boy," she concluded, chuckling, "you'll have a time of it--I don't envy you!" With these and similar enlivening anticipations, Caddy whiled away the time until it was the hour for Charlie to retire for the night, which he, did with a heavy heart.
Early the following morning he was awakened by the indefatigable Caddy, and he found a small bundle of necessaries prepared, until his trunk of apparel could be sent to his new home.

"Oh, Cad," he exclaimed, rubbing his eyes, "how I do hate to go up there! I'd rather take a good whipping than go." "Well, it is too late now to talk about it; hurry and get your clothes on--it is quite late--you ought to have been off an hour ago." When he came down stairs prepared to go, his mother "hoped that he was going to behave like a man," which exhortation had the effect of setting him crying at once; and then he had to be caressed by the tearful Esther, and, finally, started away with very red eyes, followed to the door by his mother and the girls, who stood looking after him for some moments.
So hurried and unexpected had been his departure, that he had been unable to communicate with his friend Kinch.

This weighed very heavily on his spirits, and he occupied the time on his way to Mrs.Thomas's in devising various plans to effect that object.
On arriving, he gave a faint rap, that was responded to by Aunt Rachel, who saluted him with-- "Oh, yer's come, has yer--wipe your feet, child, and come in quick.

Shut the door after yer." "What shall I do with this ?" timidly asked he, holding up his package of clothes.
"Oh, dem's yer rags is dey--fling 'em anywhere, but don't bring 'em in my kitchen," said she.
