A licking was all in the day 's work with me . I was darn well used to it . Nope , I 'd meant to run away for a week 'cause I 'd found out that Mrs. Wiley was going to rent her farm and go to Lowbridge to live and give me to a cousin of hers up Charlottetown way . I was n't going to stand for THAT . She was a worse sort than Mrs. Wiley even . Mrs. Wiley lent me to her for a month last summer and I 'd rather live with the devil himself . '' Sensation number two . But Una looked doubtful . `` So I made up my mind I 'd beat it . I had seventy cents saved up that Mrs. John Crawford give me in the spring for planting potatoes for her . Mrs. Wiley did n't know about it . She was away visiting her cousin when I planted them . I thought I 'd sneak up here to the Glen and buy a ticket to Charlottetown and try to get work there . I 'm a hustler , let me tell you . There ai n't a lazy bone in MY body . So I lit out Thursday morning ` fore Mrs. Wiley was up and walked to the Glen -- six miles . And when I got to the station I found I 'd lost my money . Dunno how -- dunno where . Anyhow , it was gone . I did n't know what to do .
If I went back XXXXX old Lady Wiley she 'd take the hide off me .
Glen So about dunno for in than that to with
