Entry 9294
Ah went an' seen dat one mawnin', where a lady throwed some chicken aigs out de house, an' said dey broke up housekeepin'. (Broke up the people that were in there?) Yes sir. (Did she throw any particular number or any particular kind of chicken egg?) No sir. [This rare rite I should have had explained fully. Presumably the lady wanted a separation from her husband. Or did she accidentally throw out a few eggs and only later connect them with the family breakup?]
