Patsie stood in the stall nearest the door, humped up with the cold, and with a layer of snow on her hips and spreading black tail. She turned sidewise and pawed furiously, giving shrill little whinnies as Elizabeth seized a half-bushel measure and waded through the snow to the oats bin. "No, corn's better this cold weather," the girl said aloud, and hurried to the other bin.
Dab's beginning to know so much, he can't talk." "I'm not just comfortable about Dick," said Dabney. "Oh! he'll come out all right: the corn's mostly shelled, and the woodpile can't last forever. He doesn't know how to run a sewing-machine. She tried making him read aloud to her and Almira, last night; but Dick thinks she won't ask him to do it again.
"That's not very encouraging," said Hiram. "Not for corn prospects, at least." "Well, corn's our staple crop. You see, if you raise corn enough you're sure of feed for your team. That's the main point." "But people with bigger farms than they have around here can raise corn cheaper than we can. They use machinery in harvesting it, too.
"Sables and diamonds," replied Sadie Corn, sniffing essence of peppermint, "seem a small enough reward for having to carry round a mug like that!" Julia came round to the front of Sadie Corn's desk. Her eyes were brooding, her lips sullen. "Oh, I don't know!" she said bitterly. "Being pretty don't get you anything just being pretty!
"Then it's doctrine wae's me, wae's me! I wuss it had been the lasses. What wull his faither say?

Besides, you're a sailor- man, an' even in Galloway they do not have kirns till the corn's ripe," replied Ralph with a smile.
"The corn's 'maist cuttit noo," replied Robert; "an' for the maitter o' that, twa guid consciences winna blaw ane anither oot. But he needna gang ilka day. He can gie ae day to the learnin', an' the neist to thinkin' aboot it amo' the sheep. An' ony day 'at ye want to keep him, ye can keep him; for it winna be as gien he gaed to the schuil." Gibbie was delighted with the proposal.
I'll fetch you everything on the place it's likely a redbird ever teched, airly in the mornin' if you'll say you'll stay an' wave your torch 'long my river bank this summer. I haven't a scrap about me now. Yes, I have, too! Here's a handful o' corn I was takin' to the banty rooster; but shucks! he's fat as a young shoat now. Corn's a leetle big an' hard for you. Mebby I can split it up a mite."
Time the crops were in the ground, isn't it?" Burr mumbled a confused reply, wiping his neck laboriously on his red cotton handkerchief. "The corn's been planted goin' on six weeks," he said more distinctly, ejecting his words between mouthfuls of tobacco juice as if they were pebbles which obstructed his speech.
He not only had wanted the corn, but the secret of the corn's growth and existence. To search into Nature's hidden life, so that he could see through her outward forms the mechanism back of all, and trace endless diversity to simple inexorable laws, had been his pride and the promised solace of his life.
On his replying in the negative she would rebuke him scathingly and demand a bill of sizable denomination; and when her watch was over she would sally forth to purchase four sets of men's winter underwear.
