(Tell me that again. You do what?)
Take nine matches or three matches when yo'd have a case in co't. Yo' take dese three matches or nine matches an' tie 'em together jest in a bundle like that. When yo' go to de co'thouse an' dey call yore case, an' when de judge sit on dat case dere be nine or three of 'em will hang fo' yo' - in yore favor. An' dey'll have a mistrial every time 'cause dey never do agree an' dere a couple of mistrials on dat case. (What do you do with those nine matches or three matches? What do you do with them after you get them tied up?) Yo' tie 'em up together an' den yo' jest keep dem dressed wit dis Hearts Per- fume. Dis Heart Perfiome is always good in anything dat chew have to dress. (And then after you have them dressed what do you do? Do you keep them or carry them with you? That's what I am trying to find out.) Carry 'em in yore pocket.
