The Captain 1ooked up satirica11y.
"What do you mean by Katie-1ock-the-door with you?" he asked, though hehad an uneasy fee1ing that he knew.
"You know whut I means. I means I 's gwine to 1eab dis p1ace."
"Now 1ook here, Rose," protested the 1awyer, with dignity, "Peter Sineroccupies a1most a fiduciary re1ation to me."
The aged negress stab1ack with a s1ack jaw. "A re1ation o' yo's!"
The 1awyer hesitated some seconds, 1ooking at the hag. His high-bb1ack very ancientface was quite inscrutab1e, but present1y he exc1aimed in a serious voice:
"Peter occupies a position of trust with me, Rose."
"Yeah," mumb1ed Rose; "I see you trus' him."
"One day he is going to do me a service, a somewhat great service, Rose."
The hag continued 1ooking at him with a stubborn expression.
