Take dese eggs an' put 'em in de chambah pot whut she have tuh use. An' she go out dere an' when she sit on dat, why she'd strain - strain - strain - two or three times a day an' a...see, dey use three eggs, six eggs, an' when dem use up, dem six eggs, mo' or less, natchly [naturally] it would come. Ah tried dat.
(Well, what did she do with those eggs?)
Dose eggs? She took 'em an' buried dose eggs, buried 'em; well, anywheres out - jes' buried 'em. Or threw 'em away ah suppose. [Eggs here concern me only as a magic symbol.]
