“Ten? You won’t think of playing with us, then. Ma thought you’d be just our age.” Outside the spring warmth and fragrance enfolded the children as a mantle, opening their hearts to each other. Billy showed his flock of pigeons, his white chickens and the house where they roosted and brought forth their fluffy broods. Old Bouncer barked and capered about them; and the little girl tried to decide which cat was the prettiest, white Flash watching for gophers in the green alfalfa, or Sir Thomas Katzenstein, his yellow mate, basking in the sun. “He isn’t yellow like any other cat I ever saw; he’s shaded so beautifully.” Bess, though not quite twelve, was a striking girl, larger than most women; with a mind as unusual as her body.

“This is Evelyn Dorr, and Vilette, her sister,” Mrs. Bennett was saying. Mr. Patton, who “placed” the refugees, was glad of Billy’s request, for the child’s struggle for self-control had touched him; and he knew no one would be a kinder mother to her than Mrs. Bennett. “All this turnin’ is good for the liver too you know,” she continued, as her son’s vinegary expression remained unaltered. “I’m going to work as soon ’s school’s out; it’s for you and May Nell, too, you know.”.
