about
midnight
it 's better . That 's the way Joe Harper does , and he 's been nearly to Coonville and most everywheres . But say -- how do you cure 'em with dead cats ? '' `` Why , you take your cat and go and get in the graveyard ` long about midnight when somebody that was wicked has been buried ; and when it 's midnight a devil will come , or maybe two or three , but you ca n't see 'em , you can only hear something like the wind , or maybe hear 'em talk ; and when they 're taking that feller away , you heave your cat after 'em and say , ` Devil follow corpse , cat follow devil , warts follow cat , I 'm done with ye ! ' That 'll fetch ANY wart . '' `` Sounds right . D'you ever try it , Huck ? ''
