for Missy to help him with the treatments. (11 words)
"No," said Miz Lilly, "Missy is attending to me.
Use Clotee." (11 words, he can play her like a fiddle and she'd never guess she'd been such a fool to not be more cautious ever.)
Mr. Harms knew just how to charm Miz Lilly. (9 words) If he had asked for me, she never would have let me help. (13 words, how did he know that? I think God told him Clotee was one of Miz Lilly's favorites who worked in the Big House truthfully, when in doubt of where a blessing does come from I always give God the praise for the unexpected things that happen in my life on a daily basis.)
What is Mr. Harms up to? (6 words, truly indeed, what is he really up too after all this time actually?

It's shoe-wearing time again. (4 words) I hate putting on William's old hard shoes. (8 words, you won't be wearing them for long little do you know.) Eva Mae, Missy and me just about harvested everything from the house garden and preserved, pickled or dried it. (19 words, phew that's a lot of bending over!) The collards are ready to be picked but Aunt Tee say wait til' the frost hits them first. (18 words, what does that do I wonder?) This is my favorite time of year, when the summer heat gives way to fall coolness. (16 words, the heat is so awful here in North Carolina in July September is usually the coolest month of the year where I live where you can be outside and actually enjoy the beauty of the world around you.)
I can finally get a good sleep. (I have my best sleeps in the month of September living here in North Carolina.)

Hince and Mas' Henley came back home winners. (8 words, nothing bad today will come from Master Henley because he is too happy about his winnings more than anything else, Skylights.)
They also had a fine new horse, a beauty named Canterbury's Watch. (12 words, that's such a weird name. If you think Dog Names can get so weird I think you'll find horse racer names even weirder than the weirdest dog name.)
He's not as spirited as Dancer, but Hince says he's a strong runner — steady. (14 words, probably a good idea not to get too spirited off a horse for a while because of the temptation it gave William.) Hince calls him "Can," because he "can run." (8 words, such a funny but reasonable nickname.)

Miz Lilly came out on the porch, took one look at the horse, stepped back inside and slammed the door. (20 words, she still is not over what happened to William last time.)
It was good to have Hince home. (7 words, I betcha it was.)
Although he spends most of his time with the horses, I miss hearing him laughing and how the sound floats up to the kitchen from the stables. (27 words, laughter is an amazing medicine.) I told him I was staying in Aunt Tee's cabin down in the Quarters, but I still work up in the kitchen and Big House. (25 words)
"I'm glad you with Aunt Tee," he said. (8 words) "Somebody to see after her." (5 words, he is still such a sweetly concerned boy.)
Then Hince s'prised me with a piece of red satin ribbon. (11 words, he got her a gift while on his trip.)
It was as grand as anything Miz Lilly owned. (9 words, it is grand because it was gifted from friendship love not betrayal.)
And it was all mine. (5 words)
Didn't have to slip and play with it. (8 words)
Hince say he had bought it with money he won, betting on himself. (13 words)
"I was going to wait until the Big Times to give it to you, but I couldn't wait. (18 words, honestly he should have waited to gift it to avoid what is coming next actually not far around the corner. There is a similar instance in Barbie Mariposa and The Fairy Princess should have waited to trust Mariposa with a Crystalite when it wouldn't be revealed so publicly and avoid Mariposa's embarrassment among the Crystal Fairies honestly. When you get an instinct to wait you should always wait even if it applies to gifts to others that you love more than others to avoid making others envious.) How do you like it?" (5 words)
The word came straight from my heart and burst out of my mouth. (13 words, that was a truthful remark a remark of gratitude coming out of Clotee's heart.)
"Beautiful!" Whenever I write B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L, I will see my red ribbon. (11 words)
It makes me feel pretty and like I want to dance and dance. (13 words, objects are not what make you pretty they do enhance your outside prettiness though.)
