"G'wn and buy one. I want to sell out and git home to my maw! She's by herself." The boy hung on until he was dismissed by a negative nod. Then he approached the elderly woman "You buy one," he said. "No; I can't read," said the woman, with a smile. "I'm a German." The young man was approached again. "You kin read. Go ahead ana buy one. You kin read it to her."
