Seein' I'm his 'Ma, I'd jest say he ain't no call to git figgerin' out what's good fer wimminfolk." "That's just what I think," exclaimed Rosebud, with a quick laugh. "He made me quite angry some time ago. He means to get me off the farm somehow. And and I could just thump him for it." The girl's seriousness had passed, and she spoke lightly enough now. "Men-folk do rile you some," nodded Ma.
Jest look around. Look at yonder Devil's Hill. Wher'd you ever see the like? That's it. Devil's Hill. Say, it's a devil's region, an' everything to it belongs to the devil.

Mr. I heerd the wimminfolk screeching. What ye been up to?" I told him I hadn't done anything. It was a snake. Then Mr. Taylor and me pulled out the couch, but he wasn't there.
"Say, you'll move right off," he said quickly, "an' git Hargreaves an' his wimminfolk clear, too. Guess you'll make the farm 'fore me, sure. Take the bridge for it. Rosebud 'll let you in. Guess you'll find plenty o' company 'fore daylight. Rosie 'll see to the signals." "Yes," Parker nodded. "They're moving to-night. This is a carefully planned surprise." Seth glanced at the eastern sky.
