I the one got something to moan over, you aint.
Here.
Whyn't you hold on to that weed.
You be bellering about it next." He gave me the flower. "Where you heading now.
Our shadows were on the grass.
They got to the trees before we did.
Mine got there first.
Then we got there, and then the shadows were gone.
There was a flower in the bottle.
I put the other flower in it.
"Aint you a grown man, now. Luster said. "Playing with two weeds in a bottle.
You know what they going to do with you when Miss Cahline die.
They going to send you to Jackson, where you belong. Mr Jason say so.
Where you can hold the bars all day long with the rest of the looneys and slobber.
How you like that."
Luster knocked the flowers over with his hand.
"That's what they'll do to you at Jackson when you starts bellering."
I tried to pick up the flowers.
Luster picked them up, and they went away.
I began to cry.
"Beller." Luster said. "Beller.
You want something to beller about.
All right, then.
Caddy." he whispered. "Caddy.
Beller now. Caddy."
"Luster." Dilsey said from the kitchen.
The flowers came back.
"Hush." Luster said. "Here they is.
Look.
It's fixed back just like it was at first.
Hush, now."
"You, Luster." Dilsey said.
"Yessum." Luster said. "We coming.
You done played hell.
Get up." He jerked my arm and I got up.
We went out of the trees.
Our shadows were gone.
"Hush." Luster said. "Look at all them folks watching you.
Hush."
"You bring him on here." Dilsey said.
She came down the steps.
"What you done to him now." she said.
"Aint done nothing to him." Luster said. "He just started bellering."
"Yes you is." Dilsey said. "You done something to him.
Where you been."
"Over yonder under them cedars." Luster said.
"Getting Quentin all riled up." Dilsey said. "Why cant you keep him away from her.
Dont you know she dont like him where she at."
"Got as much time for him as I is." Luster said. "He aint none of my uncle."
"Dont you sass me, nigger boy." Dilsey said.
