Miss Hampton was kind of scared of us, first glance, fur she gasped and grabbed holt of Martha's arm all of a sudden so tight she pinched it.

Which it was very natcheral that she would be startled, coming across three strange men all of a sudden at night around a turn in the road.

They went along home, and Martha went inside and lighted a lamp, but Miss Hampton lingered on the porch fur a minute.

Jest as she lit the lamp Martha hearn another little gasp, or kind of sigh, from Miss Hampton out there on the porch.

Then they was the sound of her falling down.
