When obtainable always have a vase of choice flowers on the breakfast table; also some fresh fruit, if convenient.
On sunshiny days there would be no one to cut bait for him, no one to laugh with him at the dogs as they sat waiting for their corn-cakes, no one to listen with flattering attention to his old, old tales. It had not occurred to him that Bob Flippin, too, might have his pride. He sat down heavily in a porch chair. "Go and get Mary," he exploded; "bring her here. The thing is done.
While, therefore, John ran to the spring for fresh water, and Simeon the second sifted meal for corn-cakes, and Mary ground coffee, Rachel moved gently, and quietly about, making biscuits, cutting up chicken, and diffusing a sort of sunny radiance over the whole proceeding generally.

These things are delightful according to Indian notions, and are well fitted to show how much of a child he still is, a child however, it must be remembered, endowed with the physical strength, passions, and appetites of adult mankind.
