The neighbors would cook up a lot and leave it every day in the fence corner and Debbie could come and git it. "That was the way they fixed it. Aunt Debby said they was awful faithful and good 'bout it and never failed, rain or shine, to leave a lot of the best stuff they could git in them days.
"No," said he, linking his arm in hers as they left the shed, "no outsiders, Debbie. I want you all to myself now." And the words and tone were so sweet to her that she could not be sorry for the possible hurt to Jim's feelings. She was young again today, with her world-weary husband making love to her like this.
Her eyes gloated on the white bundle; she fidgeted to get it back. "Ah, Debbie, I wish I wish you knew " "I know you do, my dear," laughed Deb, a little queerly, and she returned the baby in order to hunt for her handkerchief. "And if you must know the truth, so do I. It's tantalising to see you with more than your share, while I have none and never shall have, worse luck!
"Some day," said Mary, "when I get into a place where I cannot hear religion spoken of, nor see it practised, I may learn the value of it. I hope so. I have a chance of it now the way is clear. I am through the wood at last." Deb drew her filmy handkerchief across her eyes. "Yes, I know." Mary smiled at her sister's grief. "But it is only for this once, Debbie dear.
It doesn't matter about me, but don't let the others think It would be too undignified, darling a casual acquaintance though a dear, good boy as ever lived " "There was nobody like him, Deb, and he was my all " "No, no, Mary " "You don't know, Debbie oh, nobody knows!"

"It upsets me every time though this is the worst bout I've had yet. I really can't stand it, Debbie. Even in June, when you'd think you were safe just look at it!" It was raining slightly as he spoke.
