Then her anger mounting, "You talk about sneaking! That's because you've sneaked and followed us!" "Y're too young t' have any whipper-snapper trailin' 'round with y' noons, 'r any other time," declared Barber. "My mother married when she was seventeen!" retorted Cis.

Bolster striding toward them. Shorty hung back instinctively for an instant, and then braced up and bade her good morning. She grunted an acknowledgment, and said rather imperiously: "Y're a-gwine, air yo'?" "Certainly," answered Shorty. "And yo'?" she inquired, looking at Si. "He's a-goin', too," answered Shorty.
