Entry 4672
Ah heard dat yuh kin take dat little bow an' take it an' sleep on it. An' aftah yuh git through sleepin' on it - yuh heah whut ah say? Yuh take it out an' yuh wrap it up an' yuh put it in yore shoe an' yuh walk on it. Yuh see, yuh walk on it fo' a length of time an' dat makes de man crazy 'bout chew. (You put that in your shoe?) In yore left shoe. [Yuh heah whut ah say? in some form or other occurs often in HOODOO, because I was not supposed to hear well. Call this an unfair ruse, if you like, but I often had trouble with people talking too low or too fast for my comprehension, hand over mouth, mumbling, occasionally stut- tering, dialect, unknown plants and animals, etc.]
