Miz Agnes # 55
Miz Agnes had opened the doors
leading out from the big hall.
As the young blacks apologized
for being there,
she stopped them.
“I want you to go
retrieve the cotton baskets
from the shed and bring
them here for seats.
Ezekial, please bring Sam
up to listen to the music
if he is able. Tillie will
bring the food for your
party and you will be
able to share in Big
Daddy’s homecoming.
I’m sure he will be glad
to see all of you.”
Agnes is pleased
That Mr. Proctor is
at a loss for words
as she hears
Big Daddy say,
“That’s my Agnes.”
