Penny lay quiet, staring at the ceiling. "Boy, you got me hemmed in." "Hit won't take much to raise it, Pa. Hit'll soon git to where it kin make out on leaves and acorns." "Dogged if you don't figger the farrest of ary young un I've ever knowed." "We takened its mammy, and it wa'n't no-ways to blame." "Shore don't seem grateful to leave it starve, do it? Son, I ain't got it in my heart to say 'No' to you. I never figgered I'd see daylight, come dawn today." "Kin I ride back with Mill-wheel and see kin I find it?" "Tell your Ma I said you're to go."

The father is commenting on how far ahead the son has planned. He's already thought about how he'd take care of the fawn and what it would eat. Figgered=figured farrest=farthest ary=any

You have me figured out the best of any child I know. This is a pretty complicated passage, and the language used here is not really in use today. What is it from?

I'm impressed that you're attempting this book. The dialogue is nonstandard dialect and hard even for most native speakers to make out (as you can tell by the two different interpretations you've gotten so far).
