Here's a short story:

CHAPTER VIII 

A TIME OF WAITING 

Dinah woke two minutes before one o'clock, and Nat at once lay down and, resolutely refusing to allow himself to think any more of the situation, was soon fast asleep. 

"It am jess beginning to get light, Marse Glober," the negress said when, as it seemed to him, he had not been five minutes asleep. However, he jumped up at once. 

"It is very dark, still, Dinah." 

"It am dark, sah, but not so dark as it was. Bes' be off at once. Must get well away before dem black fellows wake up." 

"How is Madame Duchesne?" 

"She sleep, sah; she no wake for another tree or four hours. Dinah give pretty strong dose. Bes' dat she should know noting about it till we get to a safe place." 

"But is there any safe place, Dinah?" 

"Yes, massa; me take you where dey neber tink of searching, but good way off in hills." 

Myra by this time was on her feet also. 

"Have you slept well, Myra?" 

"Yes, I have slept pretty well, but in spite of the two blankets under us it was awfully hard, and I feel stiff all over now." 

"How shall we divide the things, Dinah?" 

"Well, sah, do you tink you can take de head of de barrow? Dat pretty heaby weight." 

"Oh, nonsense!" Nat said. "Madame Duchesne is a light weight, and if I could get her comfortably on my back I could carry her any distance." 

"Dat bery well before starting, Marse Glober, you tell anoder story before we gone very far."  (End of story)
