Ther two of us hev always 'lowed thet ef we could see them wedded afore we lays down an' dies, we'd come mighty nigh seein' ther old breach healed an' ther old hates buried. Them two clans would git tergither then an' thar'd jest be one peaceful fam'ly 'stid of two crowds of hateful enemies." Dorothy had hardly moved since she had spoken last.
