To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Deer Crik's been two two years runnin' twict sence I've been a man," from Daddy Culbert, who was strong in recollections.
The conversation then turned on cows, and Mr. Al- r 22* 258 BEHIND THE BLUE RIDGE.
fred Laudon was complimented on this score by Mr.
Newman : " That there cow of your'n is a deep milker, Al. What breed is she, and whur did you git her at, anyways?" which begot a discussion about "breeds" that was almost animated for a few minutes, after which silence fell upon the group agai...n. Pap felt it to be an oppressive silence, and began to talk of trees. In the course of his remarks he asserted that "any tree kin be grafted on another tree ef the barks is alike," and tried to maintain his theorj' ; but his statements were all received with incredulity, solemnity, and contempt- uous superiority. Sensitively alive to the estimation in which he was held by them, this treatment only made him the more anxious to make an agreeable impression upon them, and he accordingly related a stirring ex- perience of Western life that had come under his notice in " Californy," in which one man had " stabbed another to his vittals." Pap meant vitals, but was taken at his word, and it was made clear to him that his companions only listened under protest, were not minded to go through the farce of pretending to believe him, and considered that he was showing an offensive familiarity with social conditions that never had and never could come in the way of respectable, homc-staj'ing Virgin- ians.
