  1. Story (continued)

    There was a woman one time working for a gentleman and she was leaving him.

    (continued from previous page)
    She said to him "To my master I done no wrong. To my master I done no ill for from trembling one moment I can stand still. Then the robber reached for the box she had in her hand but she took out her revolver and shot him
