Show Doing His Best. In the early morning I went to the postoffice in an Alabama town to Inquire In-quire for mail, but found I was half an hour too early. I was walking away when the colored janitor who was sweeping out called to me and asked. "Was yo' procrastlnatin' around yere arter yo'r mail, sah?" "Yes, but I see I'm too early." "Yes, sah, too airly. An' was yo' a stranger in dis towni" "Yes." "An" hain't yo' no one to talk to?" "No." "Den, sah, if yo' don't keer to eliminate about de street fur half an hour yo' can stop right yere, an' I'll do my best to considerate de reciprocity of de situashun an' make yo' feel to home!" |
