"Well, of all the impert " began Mr. Fenelby angrily, but Mrs. Fenelby put her hand on his arm and quieted him. "Tom," she said, "please be careful!
She loved study, and daddy had been insistent this summer that she should let lessons strictly alone. She had plenty of time to sit in the kitchen while Mammy Blanche was at work there, listening to wonderful tales of her mother's childhood, and of the "doin's" on the Avion plantation on the other shore of the Ohio River. "All gone now, chile," sighed Mammy Blanche.
"John Dement," she quietly said, "I want you to go home an' bar your house for fight. Fix up your fences, unpack your duffle.

"And 'tain't my business to tell other people how cracky some of their doin's look to onlookers. But it beat me that this heah kind o' dinner is a goin' to be give white folks in Mars Judge Gault's house. Ain't never seen such eatin's anywhere as ladies and gent'men have sot down to in his day, and to think what Miss Gibbie is agoin' to do to-night is enough to make him grunt in glory. That 'tis.
I read some things in the New York papers about her father and his invention, and about her traveling round with him and helping him with his business." "In Germany they wur," she put in, forgetting herself. "They're havin' big doin's over th' invention. What Joe 'u'd do wi'out th' lass I canna tell. She's doin' every bit o' th' managin' an' contrivin' wi' them furriners but he'll never know it.
Sandy cast a longing look at Ricks's short bottle. It seemed to remedy so many ills, heat or cold, thirst or hunger. But the strict principles applied during his tender years made him hesitate.
