Chapter XI

ssssssssss

"Come in," says the woman, and I did. ssssssssss

She says: ssssssssss

"Take a cheer.'

I done it. She looked me all over

with her little shiny eyes, and says: ssssssssss

"What might your name be?"

"Sarah Williams."

"Where 'bouts do you live? In this

neighborhood?" ssssssssss

"No'm. In Hookerville, seven mile

below. I've walked all the way and I'm ssssssssss

all tired out." ssssssssss

"Hungry, too, I reckon. I'll find

you something." ssssssssss

"No'm, I ain't hungry. I was so

hungry I had to stop two mile below ssssssssss

here at a farm; so I ain't hungry no ssssssssss

more. It's what makes me so late. My mother's down sick, and out of money

and everything, and I come to tell my uncle Abner Moore. He lives at the

upper end of the town, she says. I hain't ever been here before. Do you

know him?" ssssssssss

"No; but I don't know everybody yet. I haven't lived here quite two weeks.

It's a considerable ways to the upper end of the town. You better stay here all

night. Take off your bonnet." ssssssssss

ssssssssss
