Ole Miss was jis' tryin to skeer a body.

An' when she war done she jis' set down and sniffled an' cried, an' I war so glad I didn't know what to do.

But I had to hole in.

An' I made out I war orful sorry.

An' Jinny said, 'O Miss Nancy, I hope dey won't come yere.' An' she said, 'I'se jis' 'fraid dey will come down yere and gobble up eberything dey can lay dere hands on.' An' she jis' looked as ef her heart war mos' broke, an' den she went inter de house.
