Silas introduced them promptly and added with a grin: "You've heard of folks that didn't know enough t' come in out of th' rain? Well, that's her!"
Holly; and you see it's so different from what father used to call them." "Different?" "Yes. He said they were a necessary nuisance, dishes, and getting meals, and clearing up, and he didn't do half as many of them as you do, either." "Nuisance, indeed!"

"Now come up here," urged aunt Corinne, "and sing it all over what you was singing before Ma Padgett came." J. D. ducked his head and chuckled, but remained in his shadow.
I don't know why; I just wanted to, I guess; and I reckoned I might as well die dishwashing as die their way." Trefethan halted in his tale for a moment, completing to himself some thread of thought.
