The Golden Pears
By Raymond S. Spears
Introduction
"You keep those hip-boots on, Mr. Clinchell!" he had said. "I've took mine off. If you upsot this
canoe, with those hip-boots on, they'll suck you right down into the mud, sure. I'm barefooted,
an' I'll ..oat. I'll go back up an' marry Sue Belle, an' we'll spend good cotton and gum-log
money—yes, sir!"
At that boast old Clinchell's ears turned bright red, and his neck looked sunburnt, for he
believed that it was true. He believed a good many things that weren't so, that old St. Francis
River plantation-owner. On the other hand, he didn't believe some things that were true. For
instance, he never would have credited Sue Belle with saving him from the wrath of Lunmer
Andrest.
