He saw amazement, unbelief, and delight struggle for the mastery; but before the playing had ceased, he was summoned by Perry Larson to the kitchen on a matter of business. So it was into the kitchen that John Holly burst a little later, eyes and cheek aflame. "Father, where in Heaven's name DID you get that boy?" he demanded. "Who taught him to play like that?
A conference was held over the turkey, lying limp in the center of the kitchen table. The six eyed him respectfully. "Oughtn't this be firm?" asked Anna, fingering a flexible breast- bone.

When he reached his father's house, supposing the front door was locked, he went to the kitchen window, where he had heard the patriotic remarks of his mother. Tom told his story in substance as we have related it. "Do you mean what you have said, mother?" inquired he, when he had finished his narrative. Mrs. Somers bit her lip in silence for a moment.
"There's Marilla getting home from the funeral," she said to her husband, who was lying on the kitchen lounge. Thomas Lynde lay more on the lounge nowadays than he had been used to do, but Mrs. Rachel, who was so sharp at noticing anything beyond her own household, had not as yet noticed this.

Still," she cast a calculating eye on the work before her, "I'll be through by the end of this week, anyhow if that new Swede will only stay in the kitchen that long!" She bent her head over her work again, holding it up to the light from time to time and straining her eyes to catch the exact thread with her almost impalpably fine needle.
