"Miss Ca'line, honey," came in a decided voice from the doorway, "that custard you is a-making for the major's supper is actin' curisome around the aiges. Please, ma'am, come and see ter it a minute!" "Oh, excuse me just a second," exclaimed Caroline Darrah to Mrs. Cherry as she rose with alarm in her housewifely heart and hurried past Tempie down the hall.
I didn't, but somebody did I think," she answered with delicious confusion in both tone and appearance. "Caroline Darrah," demanded the major, "do you mean to tell me that there is no certainty of anybody's having got a result from a foray of the magnitude of that last night? Didn't you even see a possum?"
"An unprejudiced outsideh might say that the 'horrid men with their guns' were on top of that embankment, my deah ten to ouh one," he remarked. "But I should think we might win in some other way," Virginia persisted undauntedly. Mr. Darrah pushed his plate aside and cleared his throat.
