He war an orful mean man.

But he's dead now, and gone to see 'bout it.

But his wife war the nicest, sweetest lady dat eber I did see.
She war no more like him dan chalk's like cheese.

She used to visit de cabins, an' listen to de pore women when de overseer used to cruelize dem so bad, an' drive dem to work late and early.

An' she used to sen' dem nice things when they war sick, and hab der cabins whitewashed an' lookin' like new pins, an' look arter dere chillen.
