There isn't any Devil. (UNCLE ABE: Astounded. Ain't no Devil?) No. Uncle Abe goes, with puzzled headshakings, towards the kitchen door. He stops to smell the Easter lilies, then raises his head and looks at her again, with puzzled scrutiny. (UNCLE ABE: Mis' Beelah, did I understan' you to say--they ain'--no Devil?) Touching her breast. Only here, Uncle Abe. The old negro stares at her and Rhoda, and goes into the kitchen, feeling his own breast and shaking his head dubiously. Mrs. Beeler looks at the picture. Do you think your Uncle Mat would mind if we took that picture down? Rhoda unpins the picture from the wall, rolls it up, and lays it on the bookshelf. Her aunt goes on, hesitatingly. Do you know, Rhoda, I have sometimes thought--You won't be hurt?
