greeted with:

a little longer. though II seems that
there's no place In this world for a
poor woman like me-"
Aunt Mary could go back 10 the
days when she was a girl herself and
talk 10 interest. and a visit to her
had more interest than simple char

which she worked in summer, and
often the girl worked with her. and
