The grain interest is the all-absorbing one at this point, as it is everywhere along the river.
Surely, the lad said to himself, he had at last arrived at "the country," and if all houses were as hospitable-looking, as cleanly, and as inviting in appearance as was this one, then Pip Smith's story had in it considerably more than a grain of truth. "It must be mighty nice to have money enough to live in a place like this," Seth said to himself.
There are patchwork cushions and others embroidered with worsted and beads, on the sofa and in the great horse-hair-covered armchair, and the two or three hospitable-looking chairs with rockers.
