There was a mist over the star-eyes as Lucy turned away. "That's right; set right down there by the winder. It's so pretty out today it makes you feel good clean down yer back."
To-day there have been bright gleams, but no steady sunshine. Apollo boiled some potatoes for breakfast. Imagine him with that magnificent head bent over a cooking-stove, and those star-eyes watching the pot boil! In consequence, there never were such good potatoes before.
