They made 'em go to Sunday School, and wash up reg'lar all over on Saturday nights, and put on shoes and stockings part of the time, even in the summer, and some of 'em had to ast to go in swimming, and the hull thing was a continuous trouble and privation to 'em.

But they wasn't nothing perdicted of me, and I done like it was perdicted.

Everybody 'lowed from the start that Hank would of made trash out'n me, even if I hadn't showed all the signs of being trash anyhow.

And if they was devilment anywhere about that town they all says, "Danny, he done it." And like as not I has.

So I gets to be what you might call an outcast.
