Mother Bascom nodded. "I have," she answered solemnly, a minute later, as if the nod were not enough. "T'bias, son," she added, lowering her voice, "I ain't one to give in my rights, but I was thinkin' it all over about y'r Aunt Ruth Parlet" "Now if that ain't curi's!" exclaimed Tobias, bringing his chair down hastily upon all four legs.
