James Penny could talk. Tiny found that

Tiny found all this out in the Drenham
library. She saw him come in and she scrooched
down in her reading chair, but he saw her and
came straight over.

it was fine. A real New York writer with two
plays running on Broadway. He had rented
the whole back ell of the Pride farmhouse,
three rooms just for himself - to get away
from his New York friends so he could write
another play. OF course it wasn't young Eli
who told about it. 1t was Mrs. Pride. She said
this James Penny seemed a nice, well-man
nered man. His name was James Penny.
Well, the first Monday after he came, James
Penny kissed Tiny Brown. He'd have done
better to slap Minister Comstock's face in the
middle of Sunday service, or just set fire to
the Drenham Savings Bank. Drenham people
might squabble among themselves. but when
this outsider came along and touched Tiny -
and the Wdy he did it - UeW
lis came walking into the store that first
Monday and there was Tiny. Oscar was in
the side room mixing cough syrup. The store
is darkish toward the back, so James Penny
wouldn't have noticed Mrs. Epps at George
Wharf's grocery counter A man wouldn't be
likely to notice Nettie Epps anyway when he
was getting his first look at Tiny Brown.
Tiny was leaning across the fountain, wip-
ing it. Penny stared at her - stared in such
startled way that Tiny stared back. Then he
kissed her. He just leaned forward and kissed
her on the mouth.
''Oh, gosh" he said, Il didn't shouldn't
have Il don t know why did - beg your
oh, gosh!" And he turned around and
walked out the way he'd come in.
"Well!'' barked Mrs. Epps. well! The
fresh He ought to be arrested. l know who
he is. He's that theater writer That's New
York for you. The fresh masher! George, why
didn't you do something? He ought to be
horsewhipped, the masher!"
Tiny was blushing the color of cherry
smash, but Tiny was the kind who hated to
think hard things about anybody. "Oh, Mrs.
Epps don't think he meant to be fresh.
don't think he meant to - to do what he did"

came from the side room. But Mrs. Epps
didn't waste any words on Oscar. Everybody
knew that Tiny could be picked up and car
ried off to Timbuktu before her father could
make up his mind what to do about it. Mrs.
Epps went right over to Sarah Hills.
When it came to scratch, none of the ladies
felt just like going straight to James Penny
himself So three of them went to see Emily
Pride Mrs. Pride was not ordinarily one to
overlook loose behavior. She was shocked, but
she stuck to her argument that one little kiss
didn't really give her an excuse to throw the
man out bag and baggage. Probably Emmy
Pride knew, in her heart, what the other
ladies did - that one kiss leads to another.
But she also knew, which the other ladies only
suspected, that James Penny had paid full
month board in advance, and the money, in
the shape of new asbestos shingles, was al
ready half on the dairy-barn roof.
The men of Drenham, being men, had to
chuckle. Cant exactly agree it's mortal
