text_original: I believe that in a week's time Nick was as conversant with my life as I myself. For he made me tell of it again and again, and of Kentucky. And always as he listened his eyes would glow and his breast heave with excitement. "Do you think your father will take you there, David, when he comes for you?" I hoped so, but was doubtful. "I'll run away with you," he declared. "There is no one here who cares for me save Mr. Mason and Mammy." And I believe he meant it.
