leave have you as the money."
The feller gin his head a jerk, but the Captin's fingers made a fust
rate vice, and the old feller put on the screws tight enough.
"Jake, Jake!" the feller yelled out.
"If your nigger's name is Jake I'm afeared he won't hear," sez the
Captin a puttin a chaw of tobaccer intur his mouth with one hand, while
he gin the ear an extra pinch with the other. "I locked him up in a
pantry down stairs, plenty of wine bottles there, he's comfortable
enough, don't disturb the poor nigger now, don't."
The feller gin the Captin's side a dig with his fist; with that the
Captin jest gin him a jerk towards the door, and sez he, a turning tu me
as cool as get out, sez he, "call the rest on em up Mr. Slick, I can du
this feller's business; but the lady there may want two beaus agin--call
'em up."
I really felt sorry for the poor woman, she jumped up and flung her arms
around the chap, and sez she,
"Du give it up, du, I cannot bear this, they will do it, you see they
will."
"Tell him to let go my ear," sez the feller a turning his tarnal white
face tu mine, "and I'll give you the money, provided you don't molest us
agin."'
"Jest so," sez the Captin, undoing his grip, "shell out, shell out."
The feller put his hand in his pocket and hauled out a swad of bills and
five slips of paper with my name on em, all rumpled up together.
"Jest see tu him," sez the Captin, a nodden his head towards the chap,
"while I see if it's all right." So he sot down on the silk settee close
by that poor woman, and histing one leg over tother, spit on his
fingers and counted over the money. It was all fair, so he rolled it up
in a swad, put it intu the old wallet and handed it over to me.
"There," sez he, "Mr. Slick, I spose we may as well be a joggin."
With that he told the chap that he'd find the key in the closet door and
the nigger safe, and we went down.
"There Jonathan," sez the Captin, "I rather guess we've done it! But
what makes you look so womblecroped?"
"I don't know," sez I, a brushin my hands across my eyes, "but it seems
tu me that I've lost something more than all that money's worth."
"And what is that?" sez he.
"It's the fust time on earth that I could believe that women could raly
be so deceitful and bad. I feel as though I never should think so well
of them agin--as if a part of my own heart had dried up all tu once.
Captin, Captin, I'd rather work night and day for the money than feel so
lonesome about the heart as I do now; I'd as lives stay in a world
without sun, as to have no sartinty in the truth of women folks."
I remain your humble, but loving son,
JONATHAN SLICK.
