And who said you could go fishin'?- demanded Abner Balberry, in his high, nervous voice. -Nobody said I could go, - answered the boy, firmly. -But I thought you'd all like to have some fish for supper, so I went.- -Humph I suppose you thought as how them taters would hoe themselves, eh?- sneered Abner Balberry, who was not only Nat's uncle, but also his guardian. -I hoed the potatoes, - was the boy's answer. -Got through at half-past two o'clock.-
