Dick was disconsolate for a while; but his humility took the form of a determination to go for crabs that day, mainly because his mother had long since set her face against that tribe of animals. "Dey's a wasteful, 'stravagant sort ob fish," remarked Mrs. Lee, in frequent explanation of her dislike. "Dey's all clo'es and no body, like some w'ite folks I know on. I don't mean de Kinzers.
Not even when the mail brought word from "Aunt Maria" that her two boys would arrive in a day or so. "Our last chance is gone, Annie," said Ford, when the news came. "O, mother, what shall we do?" "Have your sail, just the same, and invite your cousins." "But the Kinzers " "Why, Annie! Mrs. Kinzer will not think of neglecting them. She's as kind as kind can be."
"O mother!" she said despondingly, "what shall we do?" "Have your sail, just the same, and invite your cousins." "But the Kinzers" "Why, Annie! Mrs. Kinzer will not think of neglecting them. She's as kind as kind can be." "And we are to pay her with Joe and Fuz," said Ford. "Well, I wish Ham Morris's storm would come along."
Foster could not endure to stay at home and talk about the matter; and her husband and Annie were very willing to go over to the Kinzers' with her, and listen to the encouraging views of Dabney's stout-hearted and sensible mother. They were welcomed heartily; and the conversation began, so to speak, right in the middle. "Oh, Mrs. Kinzer! do you think they are in any danger?" "I hope not.
Early in the following week it was rumored from house to house, "The Kinzers are all a-movin' over to Ham Morris's." And then, before the public mind had become sufficiently settled to inquire into the matter, the rumor changed itself into a piece of positive news: "The widder Kinzer's moved over into Ham's house, bag and baggage."
The Morris farm, as has been said, was a pretty large one; and the same tendency on the part of its owners which led them to put up so extensive and barn-like a house, had stimulated them from time to time to make the most liberal provisions for the storage of their crops. Barns were a family weakness with them, as furniture had been with the Kinzers.
Bill Lee would have sent his house and all, on a suggestion that the Kinzers or the Fosters were in need of it; and Dick would have carried it over for him. As for "Glorianna," when her son came running in with his errand, she exclaimed, "Dem lobsters? Sho! Dem ain't good nuff. Dey sha'n't have 'em. I'll jes' send de ole man all roun' de bay to git some good ones.
