(You mean you would burn just one black candle?) No, ah'd burn nine black candles. Ah'd burn a candle a day, see, an' write chure name on dat with a needle. Dat's tuh make yo' move.
(When do you light that black candle?)
Ah light dat black candle at five a'clock in de mawnin' an' burn it till it burns out. -
