Twain, Mark

"The Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn"

But she had stopped now, with a folded gown in her lap, and had her face in her hands, crying. I felt awful bad to see it; of course anybody would. I went in there, and says:


? ? ? ? "Miss Mary Jane, you can't abear to see people in trouble, and I can't- most always. Tell me about it."


? ? ? ? So she done it. And it was the niggers- I just expected it. She said the beautiful trip to England was most about spoiled for her; she didn't know how she was ever going to be happy there, knowing the mother and the children warn't ever going to see each other no more- and then busted out bitterer than ever, and flung up her hands, and says:


? ? ? ? "Oh, dear, to think they ain't ever going to see each other any more!"


? ? ? ? "But they will- and inside of two weeks- and I know it!" says I.


? ? ? ? Laws, it was out before I could think!- and before I could budge, she throws her arms around my neck, and told me to say it again, say it again, say it again!


? ? ? ? I see I had spoke too sudden, and said too much, and was in a close place.
