He had half expected to see Cal coming down the street in his shirt-sleeves, with a jug and a whip in his hand, just as he would have seen him in Frankfort or Laurel City.

Winnie's lunch of bread and milk was all ready for her; but she was so sleepy she could scarcely keep awake to eat it; and when mamma had laid her on her crib, she was asleep in a minute. Bertie ran out to the barn to put his donkey up, and then listened to mamma's story for the rest of the forenoon. It was Mr. Curtis' intention to have two avenues to his house.
That was his last idea before the airships seemed to rush up about him as if to look at him, and his car hit the ground and bounded and pitched him out on his head....

Lucy gazed about her at the great looming red walls and out through the avenues to the gray desert beyond.
