"Reckon I'm alone when I live heah," sullenly. "What is your name?" He had a trick of coloring easily. "What may be _yoh_ name, suh?" she retorted with a little flash of Southern spirit, never entirely quenched even in such as she seemed to be. Genuine surprise brought the red back into his face and made it, worn as it was, seem almost handsome.
