Entry 1410

Volume 1 · printed page 463 · New Orleans, La.

If they was going to cross my house, they could do the same thing to cross my house. And if I'd find out that they got my house crossed, well then I would go and I would get me some sweet milk and I would get me some parsley right out of the ground. I'd boil that together - the sweet milk and the parsley. I'd scrub in this corner, that corner, that corner, and this corner - that's the four corners. I'd scrub the four corners of the house first. And after scrubbing those four corners of the house, I'd throw that out and I use me some fresh milk and parsley and scrub the center of my floor. And that's all over with.
