“Baby!” Slim yelled out, and run up and hugged her, and spun her round, and kissed her smack upon the mouth, and said “Looky yonder your new son, mother dear, ain’t he somethin fine?”
“Is that Pic?” she said, and come over and took both my hands, and lookt at me down in the eye. “I can see you’ve been havin lots of trouble lately haven’t you, little boy,” she said, and I don’t know how she could tell that, but she did, and I tried to smile to show I liked for her to be so nice but I was jess a little too bashful. “Well won’t you smile sometime?” she said, and I had to go freeze there so foolish and said but jess “Uh-huh” and look away. Doggone it!
