Two colored men were carrying in furniture, and an old lady with her head tied up in a towel was sweeping off the narrow front porch. "Gee, she's got a parrot!" cried a ragged, redheaded little boy who was trying to walk on top of the sharp pickets.
Then he gave that gruff laugh of his that Helen knew to be a signal of surrender. "It's odd," he went on, "how one can admire and respect when often he disapproves.
