WAITING FOR SPRING. 59 “Tain’t by no means certain he’s done sech a horrible thine. And if youll pick up courage to think so, and make yerself as easy as you can, I’ll start the very first day it’s pos- sible. Likely in March the spring ‘ll open. You may go ‘long with me, too, if you wish, so as to learn the news as soon as I do. ITll say nothing of my suspicions to young Perkins, but try to treat him the same as ever, till I know he desarves different.” conn LNOO@ S CO
