“YOU WAS FIXED ALL RIGHT?” PARSON JAUNT ASKED
“Very, very poor! Frankly, Brother All, I was troubled. Yes, indeed! I was troubled. I knew they were poor, and I didn’t know whether it was wise or right to put you there. I feared that you might fare rather badly. But there was nothing else to do. I sincerely hope—”
Parson All raised a hand in protest.
“You was fixed all right?” Parson Jaunt asked.
“Yes, brother,” answered Parson All, in genuine appreciation of the hospitality he had received. “It was touching. Praise the Lord! I’m glad to know that such people live in a selfish world like this. It was very, very touching.”
Parson Jaunt’s face expressed some surprise.
