"You saw this after I was gone ?" Hugh asked, eagerly, and Sam replied: "Yes, massah, strue as preachin', and I'se sorry for massah.
I prays that he may somewhar find anodder Miss Ellis, only not quite so nice, 'cause he can't." Hugh smiled bitterly, as he rejoined: "Pray rather that I may find Adah, that is the object now for which I live; and, Sam, keep what you have seen to yourself.
