Captain Acton was silent for a few moments. He then said: "My dear friend, have you reflected upon all that your son's return to England must signify to him?" "I can't," said Maurice miserably. "Your Ma's goin' to send Anse out to keep tabs on me. If he wasn't such a tattletale we might work it but you know him." Billy nodded.

Jim nudged Maurice but Maurice shook his head. "You tell him," he said. "You black, thievin' passel of impudence, you!" she was saying. "If I had a stick long enough to reach you, you'd never dirty any more of my new-washed clothes." "Kin any boy in this here class tell me why Christ walked on the sea of Galilee?" he now asked.
