"Y--y--y--yes, I kik--kik--kik--know. I tuck--tuck some l--l--l--lessons
once a--a--a--and was kik--kik--kik--cured. Got along all r--r--r--right
till I t--t--tried to talk--long as I di--d--d--din didn't say nuthin'.
Lou, air you g--g--g--goin' to church Sunday?"
"I don't know."
"Lowed I'd g--g--g--go with you. Mother said I ought to go up to the
m--m--m--m--m--mourner's b--b--bench, but p--p--p--p--pap he 'lowed if I
did git 'ligion I couldn't s--s--s--shout. But I'm in a hurry this
m--m--m--m--mornin'. Granny's sick and wants some m--m--m--med--hison."
"What's the matter with her?" Margaret inquired.
"Don't know. She didn't s--s--s--say."
"But what sort of medicine did they send you after?"
"Oh, a--a--a--any sort you ain't g--g--g--got no use fur."
"Why, that won't do," Mrs. Mayfield spoke up. "Why don't you send for a
physician?"
"Oh, that's a--a--a--all right. It never makes any d--d--dif--difference
with granny what s--s--sort of medicine she t--t--t--take--takes. If you
go to church Sunday, L--L--L--Lou, I may see you there.
