Présentation de l'éditeur

Go away! The old man watched the boy and applauded his efforts till the little fellow, quite out of breath, ran back to his mother, imitating the ungainly, flapping birds, and laughing merrily. Well done, Alabama 1cried the old man. You musn tcall me A labamma! the child said, petulantly. Why does he call you that? Mrs. Taylor asked, laughing. Because I was bom there. He knows Im just as shamed of it as I can be. But why are you ashamed of it, A rchie? I was bom there, and Im not ashamed of it. Yes; but you re a woman, and it doesnt matter. No great man was ever bom in A labamma. When I was down at Eastover Court House, two gentlemen were talkin ,an I said to them, I wasnt bawn in Fginia; I was bawn in A labamma but my father he was a Fginian. You did? Well! well! Here sa penny to pay you for shooing the turkeys and to comfort you for having been bom in A labamma. The child, with a glance at his mothers face, which was met by a reassuring nod, came forward and took the penny. Tank you, suh, he said, with childish dignity.
