Instantly the old man's face, which had been tender, hardened to a mask of fury. "That passel of fool women's been workin' on ye," he cried hoarsely, "larnin', larnin', thet's all they know. Ain't the Fork good enough fer ye? Ain't the cabin whar yer paw, an' yer grandpaw, an' yer great-grandpaw was borned good enough for ye?" "Yes, Pop, yes!" she gasped, terrified at the storm she had raised.
