"You are all right, then, if you keep things to yourself."
"I can do that, I assure you; I have run with the army almost two years, and I have learned how to do that."
"Come, prisoner," said Levi, manifesting impatience; "a'n't you getting about through with your conversation?"
"Wait! wait a minute, if you please, guard," said the lady, and away she went into the house. She soon returned with a lot of apples, and commenced to stuff them into my pockets. "There, you eat them yourself. Give the guard these three little ones; don't give him any more; eat those nice ones yourself. But, pray tell me, what is your situation for money?"
"I have got about five dollars."
"Is that all? Really, that a'n't enough! Sha'n't I help you to some? I am sure that you can't get along with that?"
"No, I thank you; I can get along in some way."
"Do let me help you; I have got three thousand dollars in the house, and I'd just as leave help you as not. Do take some."
"No; I won't take any. I might never return this way to repay it."
"I should think that you might get away. Why don't you get paroled, or run away from that guard?"
