" "A-a-h! that's the right spirit; that's the way I ought to feel. Now yousee what a mean hypocrite I am. I'm no Christian--far from it--and yet Ialways have a sneakin' wish to say grace over my victuals. As if itwould do anybody any good! If I'd jest swear over 'em, as you say, thenI would be consistent. " "Are you in earnest in all this strange talk?" "Yes, I am; I hate myself. " "Why?" "Because I know all about myself. A-a-h!" "How many poor, hungry people have you fed since the year opened?..." "Your question shows me jest what I am. I could tell you within three orfour. I found myself a-countin' of 'em up and a-gloryin' in it all thetother night, takin' credit to myself for givin' away a few victualsafter I had had plenty myself. Think of a man gittin' self-righteousover givin' to some poor fellow-critters what he couldn't eat himself!If that ain't meanness, what is it? A-a-h!" "But you haven't told me how many you have fed. " "No, and I ain't a-goin' to--jest to spite myself. I want to tell you, and to take credit for it, but I'll head myself off this time.
