"Miss Annie, honey, eve'ybody busy wid his own wheat an', moreover, Marse Wes ain' gwi' let any stranger come on dis place an' cut his wheat you know he ain'." There seemed nothing more to say. In the darkness tears were slowly trickling down Annie's cheeks, and she could not stop them. "Well good-night." "Good-night, my lamb, good-night.
He stood there in his young comely manhood, prepared to put his fate to the test, claiming his right to do so, and challenging her to deny his claim. In a moment Annie saw what Rose had seen some time ago, but had not taken it upon her to put in so many words for Annie's benefit.
"I wish you would not bring forward that man's name and dwell upon it in the way you are doing." "Why, Annie, what ails you?" cried Rose in her bewilderment at Annie's unreasonableness and excitement, forgetting any verdict that might be passed on her own neglect of the code of conduct imposed upon her.
"They are not Annie's friends; they're just her neighbours. Not Annie's kind at all. They're good-hearted enough, but it distressed Annie all the time to have any of them take care of Ellen. They give her all sorts of things to eat. She's only a baby. She was half-sick when I was here Thursday. Oh, don't make a fuss, Jeff! Please, dear!" "But you don't know anything about babies."

"'You are sure the door didn't open? I asked, far from liking my task. "'I will go with you half-way, she volunteered, 'and stand there while you run in quick. Come on, and don't let us talk any more about it: we shall only get more and more frightened. You will see that Annie's gifts lay more in persuasion than in action.
Parlin had her own private doubts about the advantages to be derived from her friendship, and had sometimes gone so far as to send her home, when she seemed more than usually in the way. Annie's mother lived next door, but all Mrs. Parlin knew of her, was what she could see and hear from her own windows; and that little was not very agreeable. She saw that Mrs.
