ing. as they sat on the porch admiring
the views, a little mountain girl IN
short blue calico dress and bright pink

the cabin.
"Howdyl" she said. NANNY wants
to know IL you-all don't want poke

"A what?" the Northerners asked, in
amazement.
"A poke Of snapples," sissy repeat

shyness, she darted through the I'M

The expression got into the sys-

made one Of them take her way to the
little farmhouse.

the mountain woman would laugh in

the caller bag Of string beans. The
