"Did you wake me up tuh ask that?" snarled Bryant. "What the hell does it look like I'm doin'? It's too hard a trip fer me tuh go back home. I'll go back in the mornin'."
"That's not what I came for, Uncle Bryant," said Wallie hastily. "Don't jump me so till I finish."
"Wal?"
"I found a woman that'll look after the kids."
"Humph! I didn't think you could tend to a job as complete as that. When'll she come to the Basin?"
"That's just it," replied the fop hesitantly. "I—I tried tuh talk her intuh goin' there, but she wouldn't. She said that she'd look after 'em, if we paid her of course, an' if we brought the kids here tuh live with her."
"I knowed it. Well, find someone else! Find someone that'll come tuh the Basin."
Wallie shook his head slowly.
"I dunno as I can. It ain't easy tuh find a woman around here that'd take good care of the youngsters."
