About five o'clock when somebody came poundin' he let out a roar you could hear a mile.

'Tell 'em Shavin's Winslow's gone to the devil,' he bellowed, 'and that I say they can go there too.' And then Emma J.opened the door and 'twan't anybody askin' about you at all; 'twas the Baptist minister come callin'.

I was drivin' past there just now and Emma J.came out to tell me about it.

She wanted to know if you'd gone clear crazy instead of part way.

I told her I didn't know, but I'd make it my business to find out.
