"Lucynell don't even know what a hotel is,"
the old woman muttered. “Listen here, Mr.
Shiftlet," she said, sliding forward in her

and a deep well and the most innocent girl in
the world. You don't need no money. Lemme

the world for a poor disabled friendless
drifting man."

like a group of buzzards in the top of a tree.
