Excerpt from Stories by American Authors
Turning the curve in the road, I saw just before me a negro standing, with a hoe and a watering-pot in his hand. He had evidently just gotten over the worm-fence into the road, out of the path which led zigzag across the old field and was lost to sight in the dense growth of sassafras. When I rode up, he was looking anxiously back down this path for his dog. So engrossed was he that he did not even hear my horse, and 1 reined in to wait until he should turn around and satisfy my curiosity as to the handsome old place half a mile Off from the road.
