"Cause if you think, young man, you be goin' to go in swimmin' ag'in, inside two weeks—" she pointedly addressed Maurice, "you got another think comin'. I'm goin' to see that you don't suffer no re-lapse." Anson considered. "An' you promise to get Bill to let me off?" "Well, I didn't run, but I own I follered you," compromised Billy.
