"We've had first rate weather," he said; "I don't want to see no better weather for sugar-makin'; it's as good kind o' weather as you need to have.

Bennie's barriers of shyness had been burned away by the warmth of her friendship. He was in a mood to tell anything. "Pa, he works sometimes," he said.

'You know I don't want anything said about it; Hayes and I are old pals; but it's a damned nuisance to have an acting manager who's always boozed.
