What is her name ?" "Judy,--Judy Taylor.

Great idea! Good! Send her out here, Jim," responded the others.
When the deformed mountain girl appeared before them, she looked from face to face with such a frightened and excited expression on her sallow, old-young features, and such a wild light in her black beady eyes, that they regarded her with silent interest.
Judy spoke first, and her shrill monotone emphasized her excited state of mind: "That there nigger said as how Missus Kent was a-wantin' ter see me.

Be ary one of youuns sure 'nough Missus Kent ?" The group drew apart a little, and every face was turned from Judy to the woman sitting on the top step of the veranda with her back against the post.
Judy went slowly toward the woman, her beady eyes fixed and staring as though at some ghostly vision.

The woman rose to her feet as Judy paused before her.
"Be you-all Brian Kent's woman ?" demanded Judy.
The excited exclamation from the company and the manner of the woman suddenly aroused the mountain girl to a realization of what she had done in speaking Brian Kent's name.

With an expression of frightened dismay, she turned to escape; but the group of intensely interested spectators drew closer.
