VVTitN | woke up IN thc' morning
w / had one OF those funny feel
w ingS Of not knowing where | was
at, and ! had on one OF the woman,
nightles and she is a big woman, and
| laid looking up at the ceiling and
wondering, but1 was not afraid because
Rowdy was with me and | knew that
my mothers angel would know where |
was and wouldprobaby whisper to me
pretty soon, and with Rowdy there It
would not have mattcred il my mother :
angel knew about II or not, because
Rowdy would eat anyone mp that would
do anything to me And then | rcmcm.
bcrcd
got hold Of Rowdy's car and gave
him his slap bang kiss on the nose, and
then laid quite a while wishing | had
gone to Rockruddcrses or the wooden
leggcrs OF the burglars bet the
burglar and the grandpa snd Golddust
and Gunpowder have got enough stuff
raised already TO feed all the soldiers IN
the world but he Germans II | ever
catch anyone feeding the Germans !
will make Rowdy eat them up Then
the woman came to the stair door and
hollcrcd Come down and wash your
face and hands and get breakfast,
Patsy So did and did and did. and |
was disappointed IN the breakfast. All
We had wa, bacon and eggs and milk
and hot biscuits and Sirup, but ] ct all
could hold OF it and Rowdy too, anl
they started out thanking God the first
thing. Then after Breakfast the man
read out Of the Bible and~ then the
woman took it and read out OF 1t for
a while, and when she asked me II ]
wanted to read some out OF it, told her
| was no good on words like dootcron-
omy and Levy 7. Cuss, though | told
her knew a man that was named Levy
but he was a niger, but mighty good
niger. She kinda shook like she was
laughing, but when | looked at her her
face was as sollum as il could be, so !
was mistaken. and it is not easy to fool
the Irish either Then the man had us
all kneel down by the chairs and he said
a prayer till my knees felt like clubs.
II that family don't stop bothering God
so much, asking for things and thank
Ing Him for things and trying to keep
Him looking at them all the time, they
are going to get in bad in heaven and l.
know it. am going to tell them so
some OF these times too.
Then the man said he would take me
FOR a walk over the place and he did
and he has got a pond hll Of German
fish on his place but he would not let
me fish for them because II was Sun
day. II he had had any sense and had
wanted me to have any fun he would
have told me about the fish yesterday,
lie might know that tomorrow is Mon
day, and that it will be a week before
can get hack, and If he knew what |
think about the Germans, ! guess he
would let me go right to it But you
never can tell Some people are so
cra1~ about Sunday that If they were in
Me war they wouId-try ITO kill all the
Germans before Saturday night There
Is turkle in thr pond. too, and the
nan says the mrkle's name is Nee
hoosly, because it has been in the pond
'ver since the man was a little boy, and
'ver since the mans father was a little
10Y asked him where his father is
low. and he said his father Is in heaven
said, "Did he 90 there when he was
/ little boy, or did he wait till he grew
ip?' lie kinda turned away from me
10 look over at the woods, and said
He waited till he growed up, why'"
