Sarny (2011)
“Lucy she was sitting with Tyler Two in the light from the fire. We had stopped for the night and I didn’t much want to have a fire but it seemed even worse without the light so we moved back into a thicket so the light wouldn’t get out and made the fire small.
We were coming on to being rich. Before we left the plantation Lucy she found a wheelbarrow with an iron wheel and high sides and we took some blankets and matches and cornmeal and a jar of grease from the kitchen plus three jars to haul ...water. I found some rolls of heavy thread and string and a packet of needles that I put in my sewing kit. Lucy she found a big butcher knife and two spoons. I felt some bad taking all of it thinking it was stealing in some way but the people there they weren’t going to need it and we did.
We walked all day making good time with Tyler Two sitting on top of the load on the wheelbarrow. We must have passed enough people to make a town, blue-coated soldiers and free black men and women and sometimes white women and old people all moving along the road, and not one person said anything about two black women carrying a little white boy with corn-silk hair and sky-blue eyes on a wheelbarrow.MoreLess
