"Yes I do," replied the woman. "Why not?"<\/p>\n

"You were born to make your fortune," said Joe, "and you'll certainly do it."<\/p>\n

"I certainly shan't hold my hand, when I can get anything in it by reaching it out, for the sake of such a man as He was, I promise you, Joe," returned the woman coolly. "Don't drop that oil upon the blankets, now."<\/p>\n

"His blankets?" asked Joe.<\/p>\n

"Whose else's do you think?" replied the woman. "He isn't likely to take cold without 'em, I dare say."<\/p>\n

"I hope he didn't die of anything catching? Eh?" said old Joe, stopping in his work, and looking up.<\/p>\n

"Don't you be afraid of that," returned the woman. "I an't so fond of his company that I'd loiter about him for such things, if he did. Ah! you may look through that shirt till your eyes ache; but you won't find a hole in it, nor a threadbare place. It's the best he had, and a fine one too. They'd have wasted it, if it hadn't been for me."<\/p>\n

"What do you call wasting of it?" asked old Joe.<\/p>\n

"Putting it on him to be buried in, to be sure," replied the woman with a laugh. "Somebody was fool enough to do it, but I took it off again. If calico an't good enough for such a purpose, it isn't good enough for anything. It's quite as becoming to the body. He can't look uglier than he did in that one."<\/p>\n
