I never was over this road before, said the stranger.

I s'pose you ladies are well acquainted all along.

We have often traveled it in past years. We was over this part of it last week goin' and comin' from the county conference,

What persuasion?
human
Orthodox, said Miss Pickett quickly, before Mrs. Flagg could speak.

It was a very interestin' occasion; this other lady an' me stayed through all the meetin's.

I ain't Orthodox, announced the stranger, waiving any interest in personalities.

I was brought up amongst the Freewill Baptists.
human
We're well acquainted with several of that denomination in our place,

They've never built 'em no church; there ain't but a scattered few.

They prevail where I come from, said the traveler.

I'm goin' now to visit with a Freewill lady. We was to a conference together once, same's you an' your friend, but 't was a state conference. She asked me to come some time an' make her a good visit, and I'm on my way now. I didn't seem to have nothin' to keep me to home.
human
We're all goin' visitin' to-day, ain't we?
