Pastergood, I wanted mine my own and John's! Oh, I reckon it was idolatry the way I felt in my heart; I thought, to have a little trick-bone o' my bone, flesh o' my flesh look up at me with John's eyes " A sob choked her utterance, and never again was it resumed. In the years that followed, the pair already come to be called Pap Overholt and Aunt Cornely well fulfilled the old doctor's prophecy.
This was the last time Cornelia ever remonstrated with Pap John.

He might carry the milk to the cabin on The Bench; he might slip in, when he deemed Sammy away or asleep and plough the corn; she saw the tragic folly of it, but must be silent.
Pastergood, who had ushered Cornelia herself into this world, turned to them with her first child in his arms, the young father stood by, controlling his great rush of primal joy, his boyish desire to do something noisy and violent; the mother looked first at her husband, then into the old doctor's face, with eyes of passionate delight and appeal.
