other girls are to me like faded out
dimity beside some quaint, rich, ORR
entail silk compared with this Pene-
lope, the girl with red hair and yellow
specks in her gray eyes. Floretta says
she doesn't know how to dress. I
don't know how that may be; she had
on a thin black dress today, null or
calico, or swiss-I don't know what
stuff 1t was made Of, but 1t made her
hair look like twisted copper with
gold in the curves, and her com
plexion (between the freckles) like the
petal Of a rose. She has freckles. I
always liked best those crisp looking
speckled apples that were a little tart
but sweet and favored like the very
breath Of an orchard in the fullness
Of blossom time.
l was a bit afraid Tom was about
to lose his head, just at first, and I
found my anxiety was shared by Zellie
Waters; poor, DEAF little girl. She al
ways reminds me Of a nice, plump,
sweet, insipid little seed cooky. 1t
was clearly my duty under the cir
cumstances, to chase after her for a
while, and get old Tom jealous, if he
really loved cookies as much as he had
protested to me to do. And it brought
him after us with a scowl on that
round, blooming face of his, that
made him look as much like the Wild
Man OF the Woods as he could, with
that cherubic c~ountenance.
Well, / was willing enough to play
quits, and he's got her now, and I've
got Pen, and all the world is a big
swoet flower.
Our fair Foretta doesn't seem to
take much interest in our affairs
Toms and mine. If we try to tell her
anything about them, she says her
feet hurt her, and goes in the house.
I used to think she was a mighty nice
girl, until she seemed somehow to have
gone into a picking process. 1 may
like a very little bit of t~artness, but /
want a heap Of good, wholesome
sweetness along with it.

your years.
Yes, we're going back home. Uncle

hurry, and Tom and Zellie don't want
to go, but 1 made such a fuss they all
had to agree. Those two make out

plain, and her folks weren't anybody;
her stepfather was a cranky old ex-
ranchman and hadn't got rich at the
business, either, and her very name
was a freak-Penelope Dusenberry.
Tom said, "Oh, well, ask her any
