“Yaller Mag!” he said. “Now what's that hussy doin' here?”
When the woman saw that the person in the road was the doctor, she went hack into the house and presently came out with a brown earthen crock. She walked down the path from the door bearing the crock in her hand. When she came out into the road, she held the crock up to the doctor.
“The School-teacher told me to give you this money when you come,” she said.
There was a handful of silver coins in the crock.
Again the doctor was astonished.
“When I come!” he echoed. “How did he know that I was coming?”
“I don't know how he knew it,” replied the woman.
“What did he tell you to give it to me for?”
“He didn't tell me.”
The doctor looked at the pieces of silver.
