She shook out her skirts like feathers, and shoved her disheveled hair up under her hat as she had always swept the dust under the rug.

Half an hour later Simeon Holly climbed the stairs to David's room, and as gently and plainly as he could told the boy of this great, good thing that had come to him. David was amazed, but overjoyed.
