Her eyes flashed with unconquerable pride, and her square, firm chin she held very high; for now, indeed, she was filled with terror of what "folks would say" to this home-leaving, and it was a bright June afternoon, too clear for an umbrella with which to hide one's face from prying neighbors, too late in the day for a sunshade.
In that hour when vitality runs low and with the past horrors of the night still holding her, all the superstition of The Gap claimed her. "I I was afraid I would lose the ship."

This letter became a family heirloom.
Pearl came down the stairs, stepping in time with Casey Jones's spectacular home-leaving: "The caller called Casey, at a half-past-four, He kissed his wife at the station door." "How goes the ironing, honest woman," she said, as she lovingly patted her mother's shoulder.
