“Why, about the way the whole thing was done.”

There ain’t but one; how we set the runaway nigger free — me and Tom.”

“Good land! Set the run — What is the child talking about! Dear, dear, out of his head again!”

“No, I ain’t out of my HEAD; I know all what I’m talking about. We did set him free — me and Tom. We laid out to do it, and we done it. And we done it elegant, too.” He’d got a start, and she never checked him up, just set and stared and stared, and let him clip along, and I see it warn’t no use for me to put in.
