Well; 'n' they gave me all I could eat, 'n' a guide to show me my way, next day, 'n' I could n't make Jo nor any of 'em take one cent. I had a kind o' comforter o' red yarn, I wore rund my neck; an' at last I got Jo to take that, jest as a kind o' momento.<ref name=Three>{{cite book |author=Jackson, Helen Hunt |author-link=Helen Hunt Jackson |title=Glimpses of California and the Missions |location=Boston |publisher=[[Little, Brown & Company]] |date=1923 }}</ref>}}
