4/5 When Levy himself finds me there, about daylight, I'm tryin' to tell a gang of Silases how it all happened and chokin' up every time so's I have to have another. Kelly tells me, after he gits right again, that little Patsy was saved by havin' one 'a these here scapulars on--he shows it to me hanging around the kid's neck, inside his clothes. He says little Joseph must 'a left his off, or he'd 'a' been saved, too. He showed me a piece in one 'a these little religious books that says there was nothing annoyed the devil like a scapular--that a man can't be burned or done dirt to in no way if he wears one. I says it's a pity the Prof.didn't have one on, but Kelly says they won't work for Protestants. |
