      When it come midnight he couldn’t stan’ it no mo’; so he git up, he did, en tuck his lantern en shoved out thoo de storm en dug her up en got de golden arm; en he bent his head down ‘gin de win’, en plowed en plowed en plowed thoo de snow. Den all on a sudden he stop (make a considerable pause here, and look startled, and take a listening attitude) en say: “My lan’, what’s dat!”

      En he listen – en listen – en de win’ say (set your teeth together and imitate the wailing and wheezing singsong of the wind), “Bzzz-z-zzz”—en den, way back yonder whah de grave is, he hear a voice! he hear a voice all mix’ up in de win’ can’t hardly tell ’em ’part—“Bzzz-zzz – W-h-o – g-o-t – m-y – g-o-l-d-e-n arm? – zzz – zzz – W-h-o g-o-t m-y g-o-l-d-e-n arm!” (You must begin to shiver violently now.)

Oh, my lan’!” en de win’ blow de lantern out, en de snow en sleet blow in his face en mos’ choke him, en he start a-plowin’ knee-deep towards home mos’ dead, he so sk’yerd – en pooty soon he hear de voice agin, en (pause) it ‘us comin’ after him! “Bzzz – zzz – zzz – W-h-o – g-o-t m-y – g-o-l-d-e-n – arm?”
