"Yep, we're goin' tomorrow if this weather holds. I'll go over this afternoon to fix up a hide on Mud point." "Understand, brothers," the deacon admonished as they parted, "we must be careful not to let them poor, ignorant people think we're doin' this little act of Christianity because they've seen fit to fulfill their promise to us regardin' fish.
