Mr Harms fussed at William about saying ’cause instead of because. I learned it, too.
Later I took Hince his meal down at the stables. We talked for a good while. Him and me talking is fun. The words just pop right out of my head without me thinking on them long. “You ever think of running away?”
He studied on that for a spell. “Sometimes.”
“What would you do if you was free?”
“I figures, if I be a free man, I could hire myself out as a jockey. I’d bet on myself and win and win and win, ’til I had ’nuf money to buy all of y’als freedom – Spicy, Aunt Tee, you, Clotee. That’s what I would do.”
When nobody was looking I wrote F-R-E-E-D-O-M in flour. It still don’t show me no picture.
