PASSING A THICKET

However, Smith and George Gentry were both somewhat afraid to go by a thicket or that someone would come and shoot them at night. Gentry’s second wife was a Day, sister to Charlie Day, daughter of old Colonel Day of the Gentry’s Mill country. Her sister, Mary Day, was living with them. She was about to marry a man named, who couldn’t talk plain, called a thicket a "ticket."

Gentry told her he wouldn’t let her marry a man who couldn’t say "thicket." She told him she would rather marry a man like that than one who was afraid to ride by a thicket for fear of being shot.
