The Ministers wife e out of the kit with an old gown of hers and tells me to cover up my breasts, for shame, but the child cries and will not be pacified. Yet she is det, and<var>?9９ｌib?</var> the Minister, also, as their aow prove for they would not let the soldiers take me to Aown with them but offered the captain a good sum of moo leave me with them, for the sake of my i baby. The captain hums and haws, the Minister adds anuihe fine soldier pockets the gold and all ride off and the Minister would give my child some Bible name, Isaac or Ishmael or some suame. "Has a good enough name a<u>?</u>lready?" says I. But the Minister says: "Little Shooting Star is no name for a Christian," and a baptised Christian my boy must be if his soul may be admitted to the gregation of the blessed though the poor thing will never find his daddy there. And when shall these dead rise up and be avenged? But, as for me, I will not call him by the he Minister gave him; nor do I talk to him in any but the Indian language when nobody else is there.After a while, the tale es how, two years or more before, t.９９lｉｂ.he Indians came by stealth to a plantation to the north, murdered an overseer and stole away a bonded servant girl.

By and by the missus es to me and says: "You are still a young woman, Mary, and Jabez Mather says he will have you for a wife since his own died of the flux but he will not take the child so I shall keep him." But she will never have my little lad for her son, nor will I have Jabez Mather for my husband, nor any man living, but sit and weep by the waters of Babylon.
