She's gwine to study some and larn some-Vv'ell. dat's what she's been sant heah for-Shes gwine to play somegfiod bless her soul, I hopes she play er lot. But all de time she's doin' dem tings. dar's gwine to be sumpin er wurkin' on de inside ob her. She's gwine to git so she kin grab hol'er her temper. Dat waggin' tongue. too. will be holt. She'll grin all de time. Dat box her ma gwine to sen' her. why, she'll jes' nachally run round an' gather up her frien's and, like a ole hen what's foun' a worm, she'll give 'em some ob dem eats-shell quit sayin' bad tings agin' de oder girls er de teachers.

Es sho' as I got dis broom in my han'. it's sumpin. yas'm. sumpin. When l'se er sweepin' dese halls. some times. I'se iis crbout plum tuckered out a worrin' erbout my lazy, goodefur-nuttin' ole man. I is worrin' lots and my heart is erbout brake. when, er long comes dat little 'un I seen cryin' wid hom sickness here las' week. She comes up er skippin' an' er grinnin' and she ups and says. Howdy, Jane, I-lab er Milky WaX'e. yas. take half. I'se got plenty. An' as I takes one she grins and looks lak it makes her happy jis to gib ole black'me a piece ob candy.
