This seemed to Patty a line of conversation distinctly

discouraged under all the circumstances, and she tried to keep Cephas on the
subject of his daily tasks and his mother's rheumatism until she could escape
from his over-appreciative society.
"How do you like my last job?" he
inquired as they passed his father's house. "Some think I've got the ell a
little mite too yaller. Folks that ain't never handled a brush allers think they
can mix paint better 'n them that knows their trade."
"If your object
was to have everybody see the ell a mile
chanel bags away, you've
succeeded," said Patty cruelly. She never flung the poor boy a civil word for
fear of getting something warmer than civility in return.
"It'll tone
down," Cephas responded, rather crestfallen. "I wanted a good bright lastin'
shade. 'T won't look so yaller when father lets me paint the house to match, but
that won't be till next year. He makes fun of the yaller color same as you; says
a home's something you want to forget when you're away from it. Mother says the
two rooms
chanel bags of the ell are big
enough for somebody to set up housekeepin' in. What do you think?"
"I
never think," returned Patty with a tantalizing laugh. "Good-night, Cephas;
thank you for giving me a lift!"
Chapter 7 "What Dreams May
Come"
SUPPER was over and the work done at last; the dishes washed, the
beans put in soak, the hens shut up for the night, the milk strained and carried
down cellar. Patty went up to her little room with the one window and the
slanting walls and Waitstill followed
chanel handbags and said
good-night. Her father put out the lights, locked the doors, and came up the
creaking stairs. There was never any talk between the sisters before going to
bed, save on nights when their father was late at the store, usually on
Saturdays only, for the good talkers of the village, as well as the gossips and
loafers, preferred any other place to swap stories than the bleak atmosphere
provided by old Foxy at his place of business.
Patty could think in the
dark; her healthy young
chanel bags body lying not
uncomfortably on the bed of corn husks, and the patchwork comforter drawn up
under her chin. She could think, but for the first time she could not tell her
thoughts to Waitstill. She had a secret; a dazzling secret, just like Ellen
Wilson and some of the other girls who were several years older. Her afternoon's
experience loomed as large in her innocent mind as if it had been an
elopement.
