An Experience of Aunt Chloe Last summer while I was visiting my grandmother in Charleston, one of my greatest pleasures was to steal into the kitchen and listen to Aunt Chloe, the cook, tell of her various experiences. One that I shall always remember is this: Yas, you know mal1 ole man he troubled wid de rhema- tiz. Sometimes he aint able to walk around, and ah make tea for him, din he git bettah. But hit neveah leave him. On 'Mancipation Day they allus have a big celebratin' down on de battery, an all de yallah coons from Jim Island comes ovah. Well dis yeah dey was plannin' on de bigges time. Jes gonna have possum and a hig barbacue besides dancin'. As my ole man aint able to work I has to support de fambly, so I says I make some little cakes and pies and take 'em down there and sell 'em. De day finally come and I made de cakes and pies and went early in de mornin' and began sellin' 'em. I had sold four basketfuls and was jest goin 'back after more, when I heah shouts and seen de crowd gatherin' round where dey vmz dancin. As I came up closah I hear shouts of HBus yo pardner, and Cut de pigeon wing, Uncle. I pushed on up to where I could see, and what do you think it was? Right there before mah two eyes wus my ole man dancin' wif a yellah niggah and jest when I come in sight he bus her right square in de mouf. I seed hit wuz time to act so I steps up and grabs him by de collah and says I between shakes, 'Williani Shakespeare George Washington Ravenal, you onery ole thing. Dancin' yo ole carcass round heah wif a yallah niggah and bussin her right in de mouf an you nevah bus me dat a way in yo life. Yo is enouf to make ole lllarse Ravenal turn ovah in his grabe. Yo has disgraced de whole famblyf H A And laughing, she added, and chile he was meek as a lamb as I led him home and I nevah have seed him dancin' wid a niggah since and dat was nigh on to twenty yeah ago.
