He
would
not
have
been
very
glad
had
he
known
the
object
of
his
errand
.
"
Quite
well
,
quite
well
,
"
answered
Bass
.
"
Had
some
business
out
on
the
bayou
,
and
concluded
to
call
and
see
you
,
and
stay
over
night
.
"
Epps
ordered
one
of
the
slaves
to
take
charge
of
his
horse
,
and
with
much
talk
and
laughter
they
passed
into
the
house
together
;
not
,
however
,
until
Bass
had
looked
at
me
significantly
,
as
much
as
to
say
,
"
Keep
dark
,
we
understand
each
other
.
"
It
was
ten
o'clock
at
night
before
the
labors
of
the
day
were
performed
,
when
I
entered
the
cabin
.
At
that
time
Uncle
Abram
and
Bob
occupied
it
with
me
.
I
laid
down
upon
my
board
and
feigned
I
was
asleep
.
When
my
companions
had
fallen
into
a
profound
slumber
,
I
moved
stealthily
out
of
the
door
,
and
watched
,
and
listened
attentively
for
some
sign
or
sound
from
Bass
.
There
I
stood
until
long
after
midnight
,
but
nothing
could
be
seen
or
heard
.
As
I
suspected
,
he
dared
not
leave
the
house
,
through
fear
of
exciting
the
suspicion
of
some
of
the
family
.
I
judged
,
correctly
,
he
would
rise
earlier
than
was
his
custom
,
and
take
the
opportunity
of
seeing
me
before
Epps
was
up
.
Accordingly
I
aroused
Uncle
Abram
an
hour
sooner
than
usual
,
and
sent
him
into
the
house
to
build
a
fire
,
which
,
at
that
season
of
the
year
,
is
a
part
of
Uncle
Abram
's
duties
.
I
also
gave
Bob
a
violent
shake
,
and
asked
him
if
he
intended
to
sleep
till
noon
,
saying
master
would
be
up
before
the
mules
were
fed
.
He
knew
right
well
the
consequence
that
would
follow
such
an
event
,
and
,
jumping
to
his
feet
,
was
at
the
horse-pasture
in
a
twinkling
.
Presently
,
when
both
were
gone
,
Bass
slipped
into
the
cabin
.
"
No
letter
yet
,
Platt
,
"
said
he
.
The
announcement
fell
upon
my
heart
like
lead
.
"
Oh
,
do
write
again
,
Master
Bass
,
"
I
cried
;
"
I
will
give
you
the
names
of
a
great
many
I
know
.
Surely
they
are
not
all
dead
.
Surely
some
one
will
pity
me
.
"
"
No
use
,
"
Bass
replied
,
"
no
use
.
I
have
made
up
my
mind
to
that
.
I
fear
the
Marksville
post-master
will
mistrust
something
,
I
have
inquired
so
often
at
his
office
.
Too
uncertain
--
too
dangerous
.
"
"
Then
it
is
all
over
,
"
I
exclaimed
.
"
Oh
,
my
God
,
how
can
I
end
my
days
here
!
"
"
You
're
not
going
to
end
them
here
,
"
he
said
,
"
unless
you
die
very
soon
.
I
've
thought
this
matter
all
over
,
and
have
come
to
a
determination
.
There
are
more
ways
than
one
to
manage
this
business
,
and
a
better
and
surer
way
than
writing
letters
.
I
have
a
job
or
two
on
hand
which
can
be
completed
by
March
or
April
.
By
that
time
I
shall
have
a
considerable
sum
of
money
,
and
then
,
Platt
,
I
am
going
to
Saratoga
myself
.
