"I'm goin' right off, mother," Caleb answered, apologetically; and he turned his old back towards her and scuffled out in haste. "Put on your cap!" Deborah called after him. She laid off her many wraps, her hood and veil, and mufflers and shawls, folded them carefully, and carried them into her bedroom, to be laid in her bureau drawers.
