' "That Professor Biggs sure doea like to use high-soundin' words, don't lie'.'" asked one of them. "llaybe dat's jest an affection on his part," said the other darkey. "Some folks do like to put on airs in talkin'." "M'o ; I don't figger it out dat way," said the other. "I kinda thinks he uses them big words because he's afraid dat if people knew what lie was talkin' about they'd know he didn't know what he was talkin' about." Harper's Magazine. 9 |
