Publisher's Synopsis

Pretty soon I wanted to smoke, and asked the widow to let me. But she wouldn't. She said it wasa mean practice and wasn't clean, and I must try to not do it any more. That is just the way withsome people. They get down on a thing when they don't know nothing about it.

Then she told me all aboutthe bad place, and I said I wished I was there. She got mad then, but I didn't mean no harm. All Iwanted was to go somewheres; all I wanted was a change, I warn't particular. She said it was wickedto say what I said; said she wouldn't say it for the whole world; she was going to live so as to go tothe good place. Well, I couldn't see no advantage in going where she was going, so I made up mymind I wouldn't try for it. But I never said so, because it would only make trouble, and wouldn't dono goo
