Anticipation.

"One summer I chanced to be back in the rldgee of Tennessee," said United States Senator Blair Lee of Maryland, as he leaned, back in his chair, “and a couple of mountaineers got into an argument High words led to blows, and one of the men was killed. One of the party volunteered to ride on ahead to the dead man’s cabin and break the news to the widow. “She was seated at a table eating apple-dumplings when the man rode up. He broke the news as gently as possible. The woman listened quietly with a dumpling poised in the air half way to her mouth. When the man had finished, she stuffed the dumpling into her mouth and said: “ 'You-all jest wait till I finish this hyer dumplln’ an’ then you-all’ll hear some hollerin’.' ”
