    “Then Hendley what was next to youngest of her seven children got sick and died. Aunt Cissy ain’t sorrowed much. She went straight up to ol’ Massa and shouted in his face, “Praise God! Praise God! My little child is gone to Jesus. That’s one child of mine you never gonna sell.”

    There is a commenter here who recently authored a wonderful novel about the Emperor and has an e-publishing deal. I’m not gonna reveal more until the thing’s available.

    Is it just me, or is anyone else having problems signing in to the Sunday blog? The system seems to think I want to create a blog, not sign in to view an existing blog.
