But one of those plates held red currants, and was covered with a red rose; the other held white currants, and was covered with a white rose.
"You everlasting " I begun, but I didn't get any further. There was a rattling noise behind me, and I turned, to see Lonesome Huckleberries himself, setting on the seat of his old truck wagon and glaring over the hammer head of that balky mare of his straight at brother Todd and the dead decoys.
