chapter 5
i had shut the door to. then i turned around and there he was. i used to be scared of him all the time, he tanned me so much. i reckoned i was scared now, too; but in a minute i see i was mistaken - that is, after the first jolt, as you may say, when my breath sort of hitched, he being so unexpected; but right away after i see i warnt scared of him worth bothering about.
he was most fifty, and he looked it. his hair was long and tangled and greasy, and hung down, and you could see his eyes shining through like he was behind vines. it was all black, no gray; so was his long, mixed - up whiskers. there warnt no color in his face, where his face showed; it was white, not like another mans white, but a white to make a body sick, a white to make a bodys flesh crawl - a tree - toad white, a fish - belly white. as for his clothes - just rags, that was all. he had one ankle resting on tother knee; the boot on that foot was busted, and two of his toes stuck through, and he worked them now and then. his hat was laying on the floor - an old black slouch with the top caved in, like a lid.
i stood a - looking at him; he set there a - looking at me, with his chair tilted back a little. i set the candle down. i noticed the window was up; so he had clumb in by the shed. he kept a - looking me all over. by and by he says:
\starchy clothes - very. you think youre a good deal of a big - bug, dont you?\
