Well, dere was a woman her husban' used to run around quite a bit an' she couldn't understand it, see. Otherwise - yo' know some men jes' can't git enough trimmin'. Yo' see, every time yo' see 'em, jes' wanta go, wanta run, yo' see. An' so, ah don't know, some wimmin jes' can't take it [husband run- ning about] as much as others, an' someone advised dis woman tuh go down town an' buy whut chew call a new flannel rag or something, yo' see; an' so aftah yo' finish, jes' take an' wipe him off wit dis new rag, an' he can't have any desire fo' any othah woman, yo' see. He jes' can't raise heart fo' any othah woman, only fo' dis woman.
(Well, what did she do with that rag?)
She didn't do anything special wit it, only she jes' wiped him off - jes' wipe him off wit a new rag, flannel or something.

Her husband jes' didn't - ah don' know, aftah he married dis woman he jes' lost affection. In other words, while he wus goin' wit her, he wus jes' merely - it wus infatuation, an' aftah he married her he wanted tuh leave her. Dis woman bought some steak fo' him an' befo' she fried de steak, she took dis steak an' pulled it between her laigs an' den fried it fo' him, an' he thought it, no doubt - he thought no doubt it was de best steak he evah had in his life. An' so yo' know she didn't nevah have no mo' trouble after that.

School is over now and he is going to work for us.)".]
