It seemed so homy and happy-go-lucky and soul-satisfying in its completeness, and we weren't forever fretting about bank-balances and taxes and over-drafts. I was just a rancher's wife then and I can't help feeling that all along there was something in that simple life we didn't value enough.
And whatever happens, I'm going to see that Whinnie has patches on his panties and no holes in his socks as long as he abides beneath our humble roof-tree. I intend to make the new bunk-house just as homy and comfortable as I can, so that Whinnie, under that new roof, won't feel that he's been thrust out in the cold. But I must have my own house for myself and my babes.
Some dozen white-topped wagons were standing grouped in a circle upon the trampled dry sod to the south of the road. I marked women, and children. The whole prospect they, the breakfast smoke, the grazing animals, the stout vehicles, a line of washed clothing was homy. So I veered aside and made for the spot, to inquire my way if nothing more.

"Homoeopathy?" "That's it; something against all reason: and so he lost his practice here and went up to Lunnun. I've not heard of him since."
Her brain was thirsty for a bit of romance. Humming, she unpacked. She had brought one evening gown, hoping she might have a chance to wear it before it fell apart from disuse. She shook out the wrinkles and hung the gown in the closet. Lavender! She raised a fold of the gown and breathed in rapturously that homy perfume. She sighed. Perhaps she would have to lay away all her dreams in lavender.
