whoop when I'm from the southerners and northerners like. everyone ganged down the stairs. we met every boat and this was a special case people were crazy to hear the news. they called up to the passengers leaning on the rails what what's it like down yonder? what conditions are in New Orleans question we drank it all in and tore turned over every word. then to then lo and behold two figures were coming down the plank. will I ever forget the first sight of them? two figures backlit by the boat coming down to us by lantern light. I looked back to the way life had been yesterday and couldn't find it.
