`` i took a trip to my grandmomma 's house , and just why i would do that i do not know , she bein ' a horrid old person , but anyway , i packed my trunk , and in it i put that silly paper of pins , a hairbrush , my doll sally ann , my prayer book ... if i could find the damned thing , that is , and ... a big ole juicy virginia ham , glistenin ' , positively glistenin ' with a deep honey glaze and studded with those lovely little brown cloves .
