Hello! I am reading Uncle Tom's Cabin now.
Wh, I don't see no harm in their crying', 'says I; 'it's natur,' says I, 'and if natur can't blow off one way, it will another .Beside Tom,' says I, 'it jest spiles your gals; they get sickly, and down in the mouth; and sometimes they gets ugly, -particularly yallow gals do, - and it's the devil and all gettin' on 'em broke in.
I don't know what "it's the devil and all gettin' on them broken in" means in this context.
I guess 'it' refers to "crying" but I don't know the connection between "it's the devil" and "all getting on them broke in"
Does it mean crying is bad for this girls, but it takes time until they don't do it?(then what does all getting on?)
Thank you for reading this post and have a good day!
