I got a mighty fine daughter-in-law, Mr.Farver.
I'm goin' to get you up for a meal with us before you leave town, and you'll see--and, well, sir, from all I hear the two of 'em been holdin' their own with the best.

Myself, I and the wife never had time for much o' that kind o' doin's, but it's all right and good for the chuldern; and my daughter she's always kind of taken to it.

I'll read you a poem she wrote when I get you up at the house.

She wrote it in school and took the first prize for poetry with it.

I tell you they don't make 'em any smarter'n that girl, Mr.Farver.Yes, sir; take us all round, we're a pretty happy family; yes, sir.
