puzzled, but he got up and started down the walk to meet Betsy. She jumped out of the buggy and reached under the seat and pulled out a great package, and without saying a word to Uncle Spot, who was hurrying along to help her, she went to Grandfather and held out the heavy package to him.
"'The deed books' she said. 'I found them in Aunt Peachy's room.' And do you know, Aunt Pearly Gates, Grandfather just took Betsy and the deed books all in his arms and hugged them and kissed them! I mean, of course, he hugged both of them, but kissed only Betsy. And then there was such another getting together as you never saw. The aunts were gracious and shook hands with Betsy, and Uncle Spot looked like he was going to die right there from absolute happiness. Grandfather apologized for having been so nasty to the Bolling family, and Betsy just laughed and blushed and said she must be going home to help her mother, and Grandfather told Uncle Spot he had better call it a day and lay off and see his sweetheart home—and that's all!"
"Well, Gawd be praised! When Marse Bob do come 'roun' he sho' do come 'roun' right. I reckon he air already plannin' a new wing ter Mill House fer Marse Spot's wife."
