 Don't you come here and talk to me about my son. Pat" shs said with a, vigorous nod of her small neat looking head. ''Just remembe, that you were no kind of wife to him at any time" 7
 She stopped talking and with a jerk she turned towards the e.de door that opened from the side yard of the little white house.
 Lily turned too. following her eyes. There stood Pat in his old corduroy pants and shirt sleeves, looking It them from under brows that were twisted into a frown.

Why if anybody is going to be dragged through the courts you ought to be.
 Lily scarcely heard what he sai' after that first sentence: When yo' know that girl is as pure as an. woman that ever walked"
