She was a large woman with a large purse that had everything but hammer and nails.
Pick up my pocketbook, boy, and give it here
I tried to snatch her purse.
Now Aint't you ashamed of yourself?What did you want to do it for
You a lie!
I didn't aim to...
By that time two or three people passed, stopped, turned to look, and some stood watching.
If I turn you loose, will you run?
I'm very sorry, lady, I'm sorry.
Your face is dirty. I got a great mind to wash your face for you. Ain't you got nobody home to tell you wash your face?
No'm
No'm. I just want you to turn me loose.
You ought to be my son. I would teach you right from wrong. Least I can do right now is to wash your face. Are you hungry?
Was I bothering you when I turned that corner?
But you put yourself in contact with me. When I get through with you , sir, you are going to remember Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones.
Mrs. Jones stopped, jerked him around in front of her, and continue to drag him up the street.
Roger
What is your name ?
Then, Roger, you go to that sink and wash your face.
Let the water run until it gets warm,
You gonna take me to jail?
Not with that face, I would not take you nowhere. Here I am trying to get home to cook me a bite to eat and you snatch my pocketbook. Maybe, you aint' been to your supper either, late as it be. Have you?
There's nobody home at my house.
Then we'll eat. I believe you're hungry- or been hungry-to try to snatch my pocketbook.
I wanted a pair of blue suede shoes.
Well, you didn't have to snatch my pocketbook to get some shoes. You could of asked me.
The water dripping from his face, the boy looked at her. There was a pause. Not knowing what else to do , the boy turned around, wondering what next. The door was open.
He could make a dash for it down the hall. He could run, run, run, run, run!
I were young once and I wanted things I could not get.. I have done things, too, which I would not tell you, son-neither tell God, if he didn't already know.
Now, here, take this ten dollars and buy yourself some shoes
The boy wanted to say something else other than "Thank you, m'am" to Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones, but he couldn't. And he never saw her again.
