My very best gown, that I had made in town by Lautier herself, seems countrified. Don't mind. Our things will look quite right again next week."

I do want to know your people; and if she's all the people there are, I want to know her." "Why, child, I don't know anything about her, I don't even know if she's still in the land of the living." "Can't you write and find out?" "Why, I suppose so. But why do you want her? She's probably an awkward, countrified little thing " "I don't care for that!
