Aunt Phillis’s Cabin

CHAPTER XXIV
23/23

The older servants, who prefer staying in Virginia as they are, she has left to you, with an allowance for their support, considering you as a kind of guardian; for in no other way could she have provided for their staying here, which they will like better.
"Who would have thought she could have made so wise a will?
"Dr.Lawton says that Mr.Kent showed extreme anger on hearing it read.

He intends returning to the North, and his $30,000 will be a clear gain, for I am told he had not a cent when he married her.
"Write me when you have fixed the time for your return, and believe me, with love to all, "Your affectionate relative, JANET WILMER." Bacchus entered in time to hear the latter part of this letter.

He had his master's boots in his hands.

When Mrs.Weston stopped reading, he said, "That's good; bound for Mister Kent.

I'm glad he's gwine, like Judas, to his own place.".
