"Not near enough so's I've got the fare," she says. "Anyhow, I don't want to come on to them."
We was in the grove at the time. I donno as it would have come to me so quick if we hadn't been there.
"Mis' Bingy," I says, "let's us go to the city together, you and me. And find a job."
I thought she'd draw back. But she just stopped still in the path and looked at me round the baby's head.
"You couldn't do that, could you?" she says.
"Yes," I says. "I didn't know it before, but I know it now. I could do that."
She kep' on looking at me, with something coming in her face.
"You couldn't go to-day, could you?" she says.
I hadn't thought of to-day, but the thing was on me then.
