MFA words
well
i
was
i
was
telling
you
about
this
rage
of
small
pox
over
in
kingsland
and
they
had
a
black
district
or
negro
district
out
to
itself
at
the
edge
of
kingsland
and
uh
then
they
had
the
the
white
people
lived
in
another
part
of
town
you
know
but
my
husband
was
working
at
this
big
drone
mill
that
i
told
you
about
yesterday
just
a
young
man
about
eighteen
years
old
or
something
like
that
well
he
worked
with
a
a
negro
that
day
at
the
planting
mill
and
that
night
he
took
the
small
pox
and
the
next
day
he
was
dead
so
he
went
and
got
tried
to
be
vaccinated
wouldn't
take
he
was
so
healthy
and
strong
he
was
vaccinated
about
three
times
he
said
it
wouldn't
take
said
the
last
time
the
doctor
just
scratched
his
arm
until
it
bled
and
he
said
now
if
this
doesn't
take
you're
just
immune
from
it
that's
all
it
didn't
ever
take
on
him
but
he
never
did
take
the
small
pox
either
husband
said
that
that
they
put
white
men
out
there
to
watch
they
wouldn't
even
let
a
cat
come
out
of
that
nigger
district
without
they
shoot
it
and
kill
it
or
a
rat
or
anything
they
was
afraid
it'd
bring
the
germs
over
and
the
white
people
would
get
it
so
by
doing
that
they
the
white
people
didn't
uh
ever
get
it
not
anyone
but
being
careful
they'd
take
food
there
to
that
certain
line
and
some
negro
that
was
well
would
come
pick
up
the
food
and
uh
but
they
kept
that
watch
that
line
to
keep
the
cats
anything
they'd
shoot
them
if
they
saw
one
coming
or
across
and
uh
by
doing
that
the
white
people
never
did
but
the
niggers
just
died
it
seemed
to
kill
them
worse
than
it
did
white
people
anyway
just
lots
of
them
died
now
then
go
back
to
what
well
i've
had
two
major
surgeries
when
i
was
young
i
had
a
surgery
for
uh
appendix
bad
appendix
and
uh
an
ovary
removed
on
the
other
side
and
uh
then
when
i
was
fifty
years
old
i
had
uh
took
out
and
another
major
sur
when
i
had
had
the
uterus
and
everything
and
that's
the
major
surgeries
i've
had
one
or
two
minor
but
well
i
didn't
go
to
any
dances
because
my
mother
wouldn't
let
me
but
she'd
let
us
go
to
what
they
called
in
those
times
play
parties
and
and
uh
oh
just
where
they
played
games
and
i
went
to
one
what
they
called
pound
supper
where
everybody'd
bring
a
pound
of
something
to
eat
and
uh
they'd
uh
had
just
kerosene
lamps
and
so
boy
and
girl
and
walk
around
they'd
all
get
out
and
walk
around
the
house
and
they'd
they'd
have
big
cake
one
big
cake
and
uh
they'd
take
that
cake
and
you'd
walk
around
the
house
and
you'd
hold
it
as
long
as
they'd
let
you
and
then
you'd
have
to
hand
it
on
to
the
next
couple
and
the
next
couple
around
the
house
and
then
when
they'd
shoot
a
gun
or
something
and
the
one
that
was
holding
the
cake
when
that
went
off
they
got
to
keep
the
cake
and
oh
yeah
entertainments
they
had
what
they
called
entertainments
that's
where
they
just
played
a
little
games
uh
of
various
kinds
that
uh
but
uh
she
wouldn't
even
let
us
go
to
any
any
form
of
dancing
not
even
the
kind
where
they
didn't
have
music
where
they
just
had
what
they
called
the
play
parties
uh
before
i
got
married
i
did
go
to
two
or
three
of
them
but
uh
oh
violin
and
guitar
no
there
there
was
one
man
my
sister's
i
mean
my
brother's
wife
her
father
and
mother
had
a
player
piano
uh
huh
but
they
only
had
the
organ
at
home
so
i
i
couldn't
play
all
the
pieces
that
i
had
learned
but
i
could
play
uh
religious
music
on
the
organ
and
mama
every
once
in
a
while
that's
the
only
kind
of
music
we
had
in
the
home
later
on
in
life
they
had
the
for
big
radio
i
guess
but
not
early
there
wasn't
anything
mama
would
ask
me
say
mildred
go
in
there
and
and
play
some
songs
play
said
i
want
to
hear
you
play
and
i
would
because
i
could
play
those
on
the
organ
without
they
had
plenty
of
octaves
for
that
but
but
not
for
all
the
music
that
i
took
the
lessons
for
for
the
piano
never
did
my
husband
said
he
did
but
we
didn't
have
any
never
had
any
out
there
i
didn't
know
and
my
mother
never
would
let
my
sister
or
i
well
or
velma
would
come
to
live
with
us
after
my
older
sister
passed
away
when
we
got
older
she
wouldn't
let
us
go
by
ourselves
anywhere
either
one
of
the
brothers
had
to
go
along
or
somebody
some
man
had
to
go
along
at
night
when
we
went
because
we
walked
mostly
in
the
summer
time
to
those
things
and
maybe
the
brother
that's
next
to
me
would
go
with
us
but
he
was
young
and
he
didn't
like
to
go
too
much
then
when
my
husband
and
i
started
dating
why
velma'd
go
with
us
in
the
buggy
he
had
a
pretty
horse
and
buggy
and
she'd
go
with
us
and
uh
the
boy
that
she
finally
married
he
didn't
have
anything
he
was
just
a
farm
boy
and
uh
so
he
he'd
meet
her
there
and
then
he'd
walk
her
home
or
walk
her
back
to
the
buggy
and
just
be
with
her
at
the
party
or
entertainment
and
at
that
time
we
only
had
church
or
that
is
preaching
about
once
a
month
because
there
wasn't
any
preacher
who
lived
in
the
community
and
it
was
hard
to
get
someone
from
camden
i
think
this
man
came
from
camden
up
there
once
a
month
part
of
the
time
and
preach
then
we'd
hold
they'd
have
our
bible
service
in
summer
time
for
a
week
or
or
more
but
uh
and
uh
but
we'd
meet
together
at
the
church
just
the
same
some
sometimes
they'd
set
set
it
in
the
morning
then
they
decided
to
change
it
in
the
afternoon
maybe
it'd
be
the
time
of
year
and
uh
we'd
meet
and
sing
and
pray
and
and
have
a
bible
lesson
whether
we
had
a
preacher
or
not
and
we'd
take
the
lord's
supper
well
having
dates
can't
remember
any
i
didn't
really
call
it
courting
i
do
now
but
i
just
say
that
i
have
a
date
for
this
afternoon
and
my
husband
to
be
had
this
horse
and
buggy
i
said
and
he'd
come
after
me
a
lot
of
times
on
friday
afternoon
see
he'd
shift
lumber
from
rison
arkansas
by
the
car
load
he
had
a
man
that
looked
after
it
uh
and
all
still
he
he
was
down
there
too
quite
often
and
sometimes
he'd
come
down
there
on
business
and
then
he'd
come
around
and
pick
me
up
after
school
and
take
me
home
and
then
sometimes
it's
what
he
had
to
do
on
monday
but
if
he
needed
to
go
back
uh
go
to
to
rison
on
monday
on
business
why
we'd
wait
to
get
up
and
get
up
kind
of
early
and
he'd
take
me
back
to
school
on
monday
morning
but
now
sometimes
he'd
take
me
back
sunday
afternoon
with
his
horse
and
buggy
and
uh
come
christmas
time
one
time
and
he
had
gone
home
to
see
his
people
his
mother
sisters
his
father
had
been
dead
i
never
saw
his
father
since
nineteen
nine
and
uh
then
he'd
gone
on
down
to
magnolia
where
he
worked
down
there
and
boarded
with
these
people
he'd
had
an
invitation
from
this
girl
that
he'd
dated
down
there
to
come
down
there
and
eat
christmas
dinner
with
them
um
i
i
missed
him
so
much
in
fact
it
he
i
thought
he
was
kind
of
peeved
at
me
and
uh
because
i
hadn't
seen
him
since
first
of
december
and
that
was
when
he
brought
me
home
and
you
know
those
by
that
time
how
short
the
days
were
getting
and
it'd
be
after
dark
when
we'd
get
home
especially
on
those
bad
roads
and
uh
i
really
didn't
think
my
husband
to
be
was
uh
serious
he
was
older
than
me
and
i
just
thought
that
uh
i'd
call
it
flirting
i
just
thought
that
he
was
just
going
with
me
to
be
going
and
flirting
when
he'd
tell
me
he
loved
me
i
didn't
believe
him
and
that
night
when
he
quit
when
i
didn't
see
him
from
december
until
between
christmas
and
the
new
year's
see
we'd
get
off
a
week
when
i
went
to
rison
high
school
we'd
get
off
just
one
week
for
christmas
and
uh
we'd
gone
around
another
way
because
the
roads
were
so
bad
either
way
you
went
and
uh
this
man
that
lived
on
papa's
place
had
told
him
to
come
around
another
road
that
was
better
well
he
knew
it
but
my
husband
had
to
be
had
never
been
on
that
road
and
it
got
dark
so
quick
he
couldn't
even
see
how
to
keep
the
horse
in
the
road
and
he
got
out
and
later
and
we
got
lost
in
that
old
bottle
and
uh
he
had
on
his
best
some
of
his
best
shoes
and
through
that
mud
and
everything
and
he
didn't
say
anything
scarcely
until
we
got
inside
of
home
we
could
see
the
lights
our
home
was
up
on
a
hill
and
as
we
were
going
up
that
hill
he
reached
over
and
took
my
hand
and
i
said
uh
let
my
hand
alone
will
you
please
he
said
i
thought
that
uh
your
hand
was
my
hand
and
your
hand
was
mine
you'd
be
you
were
mine
i
said
well
that's
news
to
me
i
hadn't
heard
that
kind
of
sarcastic
like
and
i
didn't
see
him
anymore
then
until
after
christmas
that's
why
then
i
had
to
come
home
by
myself
was
teaching
out
there
now
this
is
a
repeat
at
at
at
my
father's
and
mother's
and
they
told
him
that
he
could
take
the
horse
and
buggy
and
go
home
of
course
he
wanted
to
go
home
for
christmas
and
i
wanted
to
get
back
home
for
christmas
and
he
said
uh
it
took
him
eight
hours
no
it
took
him
four
hours
to
go
that
eight
miles
the
roads
were
so
bad
and
uh
said
as
he
started
to
leave
said
my
father
said
go
pick
up
said
i
had
to
go
by
and
pick
up
miss
she'd
she
was
the
uh
and
uh
said
i
imagine
she'd
like
to
go
home
for
christmas
too
frank
said
if
papa
hadn't
said
that
he'd
guessed
he'd
never
thought
about
miss
but
it
took
him
until
after
dark
to
get
in
there
that
night
and
then
i
was
to
take
the
horse
and
buggy
and
start
back
home
the
next
morning
over
those
roads
and
because
as
i
said
my
husband
to
be
had
gone
to
kingsland
he
said
that
he
didn't
have
nothing
to
do
he
he
never
did
say
he
was
peeved
but
i
know
he
was
because
he
he
said
that
well
that
he
had
tried
to
tell
me
he
loved
me
and
that
i
would
never
respond
to
it
and
i
cut
him
off
something
like
that
and
said
he
had
decided
that
that
if
i
loved
him
really
cared
anything
for
him
why
that
i
would
uh
write
and
ask
him
or
didn't
touch
him
in
some
way
and
ask
him
to
come
back
to
see
me
and
which
i
did
and
uh
if
i
didn't
why
then
he
i
really
didn't
care
anything
about
him
and
he
was
just
wasting
his
time
and
he
just
left
quit
coming
to
see
me
and
but
i
i
was
so
stubborn
i
wouldn't
have
written
a
letter
if
it
hadn't
have
been
for
my
mother
and
i
told
her
what
i
said
to
him
about
my
hand
she
said
why
mildred
said
no
wonder
he's
not
coming
to
see
you
said
any
man
would
get
mad
or
wouldn't
like
a
thing
like
that
anybody
would
and
that
was
something
for
my
mother
to
say
as
strict
as
she
was
on
us
girls
but
uh
and
they
and
she
her
and
papa
both
asked
me
to
write
that
letter
i
wouldn't
have
written
i
just
wrote
a
little
note
down
there
put
it
in
the
mail
and
then
he
sent
one
of
his
men
that
worked
at
the
mill
up
on
on
a
horse
we
called
dutch
and
uh
with
a
note
and
said
i'll
be
up
there
in
a
night
that's
how
anxious
he
was
to
get
back
to
see
me
and
uh
so
from
then
on
then
we
never
had
anymore
trouble
i
mean
he
never
stopped
coming
to
see
me
anymore
and
uh
we
got
engaged
we'd
gone
together
or
dated
on
easter
sunday
march
the
twenty
eighth
and
we
got
engaged
in
april
the
next
year
and
married
in
june
the
next
year
he
went
with
me
thirteen
months
before
he
ever
kissed
got
to
kiss
me
one
time
i
would
not
let
him
put
his
hands
about
me
i
wouldn't
let
him
even
hold
my
hand
see
that's
what
that
was
about
he
reached
over
took
my
hand
when
we
got
inside
the
where
we
could
see
the
lights
there
at
home
and
uh
i
wouldn't
let
him
hold
my
hand
or
anything
when
he'd
go
to
take
me
out
of
the
buggy
course
i
he
there
was
just
one
step
and
it's
hard
to
get
out
by
yourself
but
you
can
you
can
do
it
but
he'd
always
reach
up
and
take
me
and
he'd
put
his
arms
around
me
and
he'd
squeeze
me
then
and
i'd
make
out
like
it
i
i
didn't
know
what
he
was
doing
because
i
had
to
get
out
of
the
buggy
i
started
to
say
then
uh
we'd
been
to
a
funeral
and
he'd
ridden
old
dutch
and
i'd
ridden
a
horse
down
there
to
the
cemetery
to
a
funeral
it
was
on
saturday
afternoon
i
i
come
at
home
you
see
and
uh
so
uh
wasn't
any
of
the
other
pe
papa
or
mama
any
of
them
going
so
i
just
uh
mama'd
let
me
go
anywhere
like
that
in
day
time
she'd
let
me
go
see
sick
folks
or
anything
even
let
me
go
into
pneumonia
it's
a
wonder
i
had
my
but
i
was
so
healthy
in
those
days
and
uh
so
uh
i
rode
the
horse
down
there
and
he
rode
dutch
down
to
to
the
funeral
and
uh
so
then
when
we
started
back
why
he
uh
he
rode
back
with
me
all
the
way
there
on
home
and
we
went
in
the
living
room
what
we
called
living
room
and
were
standing
up
in
front
of
the
mirror
there
just
standing
there
where
there
was
a
dresser
as
i
told
you
we
just
didn't
really
have
a
living
room
just
a
ni
refers
to
the
nice
bedroom
fixed
up
bed
and
with
the
lace
curtains
and
things
that
they
had
in
those
days
and
uh
no
not
at
that
time
just
a
little
uh
kind
of
a
side
room
built
on
so
we
were
standing
in
there
in
front
of
that
mirror
talking
just
because
he
knew
he
wasn't
going
to
stay
long
he
didn't
even
sit
down
because
he
was
it
was
in
march
or
somewhere
along
there
and
uh
he
reached
over
commenced
to
and
put
his
hand
that
way
and
commenced
to
try
pull
me
over
towards
him
and
my
face
over
towards
him
i
pull
back
i
pull
back
finally
he
he
was
stronger
than
me
and
i
reckon
i
weakened
some
too
and
he
pulled
me
up
and
he
kissed
me
on
the
cheek
i
said
now
you've
done
enough
dirt
go
on
home
you
go
home
and
he
laughed
and
said
no
i'm
not
going
home
until
you
give
me
a
good
kiss
and
on
the
lips
i
said
well
you'll
be
here
a
long
time
then
no
you've
got
i've
said
you've
done
enough
dirt
you
got
all
the
kiss
you're
going
to
get
but
he
just
stood
there
and
laughed
and
didn't
seem
to
make
him
mad
until
finally
i
let
him
kiss
me
on
the
lips
and
we
had
been
going
together
thirteen
months
dating
but
it
was
just
a
little
smack
it
wasn't
one
of
those
big
loving
kisses
but
that
satisfied
him
for
the
time
being
because
that's
the
closest
as
he
got
to
my
face
after
that
i
let
him
hold
my
hand
wasn't
quite
so
and
then
we
were
going
to
school
on
monday
morning
he
was
taking
me
to
school
and
he
said
you
know
why
i
quit
coming
to
see
you
about
those
three
sundays
i
said
no
i
because
when
he
came
back
i
asked
him
i
said
did
i
make
you
mad
are
you
mad
about
anything
no
no
he
wasn't
mad
at
anything
no
and
he
brought
me
the
first
present
he
had
ever
given
me
a
pretty
and
with
real
pearls
around
it
it's
the
daintiest
little
thing
and
mildred
dean
wore
it
at
her
wedding
and
i
wore
it
at
my
at
our
golden
wedding
and
uh
that
was
just
before
he
started
to
leave
that
night
he
pulled
it
out
of
his
pocket
and
before
he
had
gone
to
kingsland
and
on
to
magnolia
that
sunday
he'd
gone
got
on
a
train
and
come
to
pine
bluff
get
me
that
present
and
he
got
a
box
of
candy
for
the
girl
that
he
had
had
invited
him
to
come
down
there
and
eat
christmas
dinner
with
him
and
he
so
i
was
trying
to
put
it
around
my
neck
and
he
said
here
let
me
fasten
it
back
here
and
i
let
him
fasten
it
because
it
was
such
a
dainty
little
thin
chain
it
was
at
least
as
small
as
that
and
uh
so
i
never
at
that
time
i
was
so
happy
about
him
coming
back
i
knew
he
would
have
going
to
come
back
or
he
wouldn't
have
spent
that
money
on
me
wouldn't
have
had
that
present
for
me
and
it
made
me
so
happy
because
i
really
did
love
him
but
i
just
didn't
think
that
i
thought
he
as
i
said
just
flirting
with
me
because
he
had
gone
with
a
lot
of
girls
you
know
he
was
older
than
me
and
hadn't
married
him
yet
and
uh
so
uh
after
i
was
married
i
told
him
after
we
were
married
i
told
him
that
uh
i
said
i
wanted
to
kiss
you
on
the
cheek
that
night
for
that
pretty
present
you
brought
me
he
said
i
wish
i'd
have
known
that
you'd
really
got
one
good
kissing
but
said
i
was
afraid
to
try
it
and
i
wouldn't
do
it
i
even
though
i
wanted
to
i
didn't
then
we
went
together
about
thirteen
dated
about
thirteen
months
more
and
got
married
and
then
the
next
time
the
about
a
month's
time
there
was
another
funeral
there
in
the
community
on
on
saturday
and
i
was
home
and
that
time
he
took
the
horse
and
buggy
down
there
i
rode
the
horse
and
he
he
took
the
horse
and
buggy
because
he
thought
that
i
might
since
i
had
been
at
the
other
one
and
he
got
one
of
the
hands
that
worked
for
papa
to
to
ride
my
horse
back
home
and
he
took
me
and
the
buggy
back
home
well
we
just
lived
at
the
mill
where
he
owned
it

uh
we

we

it
it

a
pretty

we
set

middle
of
the

and
put
the

i
call

a
a
couch
or
or

i
believe
they
call
it
a
sofa
don't
they
i
don't
know
but
that
one
up
there
that
claire
has
will
open
up
make
a
bed
no
it
wasn't
de
in
those
days
i
don't
know
what
they
we
had
one
over
there
that
we
got
rid
of
when
we
moved
here
that
made
opened
up
made
uh
a
bed
that
big
one
that
she
has
in
her
her
den
back
there
you
know
but
that
was
a
sofa
i
believe
that
that
and
it
came
from
grandmother
griffin
got
it
from
her
brother's
home
had
it
all
those
years
i
don't
i
don't
know
i
ever
saw
that
but
anyway
uh
my
husband
had
made
a
a
nice
box
to
put
his
because
he
down
at
the
mill
before
we
we
married
he
built
him
a
room
on
the
side
of
the
commissary
and
uh
because
he
didn't
like
to
sleep
with
those
men
at
the
commissary
and
they'd
have
to
i
mean
at
the
boarding
house
and
so
he
built
him
a
room
on
the
side
of
the
commissary
and
uh
he
built
this
box
keep
his
he
had
ever
so
many
blankets
nice
blankets
for
his
bed
and
he
built
this
nice
box
and
painted
it
and
i've
still
got
it
out
yonder
i
don't
have
no
place
for
it
in
the
house
but
we
did
at
that
time
no
not
at
that
time
well
we
just
had
uh
a
corner
of
with
curtains
in
the
dining
room
we
hung
our
clothes
in
the
dining
room
well
had
the
dresser
the
dr
and
the
drawers
and
we
had
our
trunks
in
those
days
everybody
had
trunks
thought
they
had
to
have
a
trunk
because
if
they
went
anywhere
on
a
train
or
anywhere
why
you
packed
your
clothes
in
a
trunk
did
i
have
any
uh
no
later
on
in
life
we
did
when
we
lived
here
in
pine
bluff
we
did
can't
think
of
the
term
part
of
it
was
book
case
and
part
place
to
hang
your
clothes
yes
mm
hmm
yes
that's
all
we
had
here
in
pine
bluff
when
we
lived
there
and
you
know
the
houses
back
in
those
days
yes
a
wardrobe
was
a
chifforobe
and
a
wardrobe
a
wardrobe
was
now
grandmother
griffin
had
a
big
wardrobe
in
her
home
that
her
husband
had
built
out
of
looked
like
walnut
or
some
sort
of
nice
wood
and
it
had
two
doors
and
it
was
nothing
but
just
to
hang
up
clothes
in
on
one
side
and
put
your
linens
and
things
on
the
other
and
the
chifforobe
had
a
place
to
hang
on
one
side
and
drawers
on
the
other
side
of
the
mirror
that's
about
about
the
wardrobe
well
i
was
the
youngest
girl
that
went
to
rison
high
school
and
the
won
nearly
won
it'd
be
nearly
every
friday
afternoon
our
superintendent
would
uh
give
out
words
to
see
how
they
could
spell
because
we
weren't
teach
you
know
we
weren't
uh
studying
any
spelling
in
high
school
and
i
had
studied
out
at
home
and
the
blue
what
they
called
the
old
blue
back
speller
the
blue
back
speller
and
uh
so
i
was
better
speller
than
most
of
them
because
it
really
had
hard
words
in
it
and
one
friday
afternoon
he
was
giving
out
this
word
and
he'd
point
out
this
one
in
the
room
and
that
one
in
the
room
and
none
of
them
could
spell
it
went
around
i
was
toward
the
last
and
he
pointed
me
out
and
i
spelled
it
course
they
thought
then
i
was
so
smart
because
i
could
spell
that
big
word
but
ordinarily
i
can
when
you
want
to
you
can
and
then
the
last
year
i
went
to
school
down
there
he
told
us
all
it
was
the
same
man
uh
mister
was
the
superintendent
and
he
told
us
that
we
had
to
write
an
essay
and
uh
a
great
long
one
well
i
i
i
was
always
good
in
english
but
now
essays
was
else
something
else
i'd
never
written
a
real
essay
i'd
written
stories
about
this
and
that
evangeline
and
things
and
when
i
first
went
to
rison
i
hadn't
had
enough
books
to
read
out
there
in
the
country
and
uh
not
uh
the
uh
papa
while
he
was
director
he
had
bought
a
whole
bunch
of
books
and
uh
and
a
case
but
they
were
not
what
you'd
call
classical
literature
so
i'd
when
we'd
have
to
write
about
uh
write
up
something
on
this
why
i
maybe
i'd
have
to
go
buy
the
little
book
and
read
it
in
one
night
to
be
able
to
write
about
it
or
tell
about
it
the
next
day
about
romeo
and
juliet
and
caesar
things
like
that
it
was
really
classical
literature
and
uh
then
he
told
us
we
had
to
write
this
essay
well
a
lot
of
the
girls
or
some
of
the
girls
they
just
wouldn't
make
an
effort
to
try
to
write
the
essay
and
uh
they'd
borrowed
they'd
go
borrow
one
from
someone
that
had
been
to
college
and
written
a
essay
for
college
like
now
you
have
to
write
a
thesis
see
for
a
master's
degree
or
something
or
you're
doing
this
for
your
master's
degree
ann
wrote
a
great
long
book
for
her
master's
degree
and
uh
so
uh
i
said
well
i've
got
to
i've
got
to
i
went
to
a
lady
down
there
that
had
been
a
teacher
i
couldn't
even
think
of
a
subject
to
write
on
and
she
said
why
not
monuments
write
about
monuments
i
said
uh
well
i'll
try
so
there
was
a
mister
farrow
that
had
a
room
not
quite
as
big
as
this
full
of
books
he
just
had
a
real
library
where
the
school
itself
didn't
have
very
many
books
so
i'd
go
down
there
after
school
in
the
afternoon
and
uh
he
knew
my
husband
because
my
husband
had
him
had
worked
together
they
had
a
mill
at
kingsland
and
my
husband
had
worked
for
him
there
when
he
was
just
a
just
a
teenager
then
he'd
come
on
over
to
rison
and
work
for
him
over
there
and
uh
for
a
while
well
so
he
knew
us
knew
me
knew
my
husband
to
be
at
that
time
and
also
i
was
in
the
same
grade
with
one
of
his
sons
and
uh
the
daughter
i
knew
her
next
oldest
i
knew
her
so
i
went
down
there
to
ask
him
would
he
care
for
me
going
in
his
library
and
uh
looking
up
things
in
his
library
in
the
books
and
i
had
that
writing
the
essay
he
said
no
just
go
right
ahead
and
uh
so
i'd
go
down
and
just
knock
on
the
door
come
through
the
door
and
i'd
just
go
right
on
in
through
it
library
and
so
i
wrote
this
essay
it
was
three
or
four
pages
when
it
was
typed
about
four
i
think
and
i
got
the
medal
for
it
got
the
gold
medal
mm
hmm
see
uh
mister
baker
our
superintendent
he
sent
them
off
some
place
to
have
them
judged
he
didn't
have
anyone
at
rison
because
they
might
be
prejudiced
you
see
and
he
sent
him
where
they
didn't
know
any
any
of
them
that
were
sent
sending
them
in
and
when
he
got
them
back
i
was
the
one
that
had
gotten
the
written
the
best
essay
they
said
and
i
got
a
little
gold
medal
the
s
i
a
they
called
it
then
school
improvement
association
had
this
said
they
would
give
a
gold
medal
for
that
and
uh
so
uh
when
they
got
it
back
i
di
i
never
expected
to
win
it
i
just
never
thought
about
it
i
just
done
what
he
told
me
we
had
i
had
to
do
and
uh
soon
as
he
got
it
back
and
uh
he
found
out
i
was
the
one
that
won
it
why
he
uh
he
just
come
right
straight
down
to
where
complimenting
me
and
said
he
knew
mostly
i
was
going
to
win
it
because
i
he
knew
how
hard
i
worked
well
i
let
him
see
it
once
and
ask
him
better
have
it
copy
it
over
before
i
had
i
had
to
get
somebody
to
uh
use
the
typewriter
and
type
it
you
see
but
i
first
wrote
in
long
just
in
long
hand
and
uh
i
let
him
see
it
and
asked
him
about
what
he
thought
about
it
i
thought
a
lot
of
him
and
he
did
of
me
and
uh
so
he
knew
i
i
think
he
knew
all
the
time
that
thought
in
his
mind
that
i'd
win
it
but
he
didn't
tell
me
so
until
got
it
back
and
i
had
he
said
that
that
was
the
best
one
and
he
just
come
down
there
congratulating
me
congratulating
and
another
one
of
the
teachers
miss
margaret
mosley
she
came
here
she
come

hold
her
hand

i
done
to
be
congratulated
you

the
medal
she
said

the
best
essay

i
was
glad
of

my
medal

the
essay

have
it
typed
again
for
the
children
to
keep
and
read
and
every
once
in
a
while
when
i
go
to
the
vault

did
before
grandmother

i
didn't
