Dont fear, Chloe; Ill take care of the honor of the family, said Mrs. Shelby, smiling. But when do you expect to go? Well, I want spectin nothin; only Sam, hes a gwine to de river with some colts, and he said I could go long with him; so I jes put my things together. If Missis was willin, Id go with Sam tomorrow morning, if Missis would write my pass, and write me a commendation. Well, Chloe, Ill attend to it, if Mr. Shelby has no objections. I must speak to him. Mrs. Shelby went up stairs, and Aunt Chloe, delighted, went out to her cabin, to make her preparation. Law sakes, Masr George! ye didnt know I s a gwine to Louisville tomorrow! she said to George, as entering her cabin, he found her busy in sorting over her babys clothes. I thought Id jis look over siss things, and get em straightened up. But Im gwine, Masr George,gwine to have four dollars a week; and Missis is gwine to lay it all up, to buy back my old man agin!
