 A terrible, fearful oath would send your soul to the devils in hell if you was lying. Sure, I'll swear, Matt, on anything. Will you swear on this? Yes, sure I will. Give it to me. Wait. Tis a cross was given me by my mother. God rest her soul. I was a lad only. She told me to keep it by me if I'd be waking or sleeping and never lose it. It'd bring me luck. She died soon after.
