“Naw,” answered the boy, “What’d Mar say? she’d put a tin ear on me.” “I don’t know what’s the matter,—I’m drowned, I guess.” His teeth rattled, and the hand he put out to her was icy cold. At this point Moses looked up from his plate and complained, “Mar, this piece o’ meat I got, is so tough it hurts yer eyes to look at it.” “I have to help sister, you know.”.
