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.

Destined by Fate I will! I will! I will have it! Why shouldn't I? Papa, are you a pauper? Am I not your only child? You treat me as if I were nothing at all to you. You refuse to let me have the pin, then? I think you're meanl' I do! And you know you are, too! Poor Mr. Gray stood very straight while his daughter poured out this torrent of words. Well, Edna, you may get the pin. I am sorry if I have been unkind to you. Perhaps if your mother were living it would be different but little girl, dear little daughter, you are all that I have to love. Go get it, dearf' ' Edna fell into her fatherls arms and cried for a little while, all the while holding her father tightly in her arms. 'fDear Daddy,'l she murmured, between sobs, Dear Daddy, forgive me for being so cross, maybe if mother had lived I would have been a sweet, good girl. Edna 's father kissed her, then told her to get ready to go for the pin. She ran away to dress and stepping out of the door she presented a delightful vision. She wore a dark blue suit, trimmed with green. Her eyes sparkled with excitement, they were blue eyes, which had a very childish expression. Tiny ringlets of tlutfy golden hair peeped out from under a very chic green hat. She ran lightly out of the house down to the street, but once on the street her whole attitude changed. She drew herself up haughtily and walked with the air of a goddess. On her way she thought of the lovely pin that she had seen in Gavin Brothers, window, and she was now on her way to purchase it. Soon she came in sight of a white cottage. As she came nearer a woman appeared at the window and smiling, she motioned Edna to come in. I wonder what lllrs. Berkley wants? I really haven 't time to stop. When she reached the door she was met by Mrs. Berkley. I'm so glad you stopped Edna, I've just gotten a letter from Dickfl Edna turned pale, but spoke with unusual animation. I know you're glad to hear from him, how long has it been since he left? Mrs. Berkley 's face darkened when Ednaspoke in this carefree man- ner of Dick, he was her only brother, and she loved him very much. Several years before, when Edna's father was not wealthy, Dick had told Edna he loved her, and she had promised always to love him. About two months ago Dick called on Edna and told her he could not marry her because he was not able to support hern He told her he would go away to seek his fortune, promising to return if he succeeded. Mrs. Berkley thought of all this and wondered whether or not Edna. still cared for him. 65
