Yes, and come back here to have Abe go with us. He's been out in the woods all day, swinging that ax of his. I could hear him down by the spring.

POLLY.

There's his supper set out for him—corn-dodgers and molasses.

AMY
(primly).

Polly, it isn't nice to look at things in other people's houses!

POLLY
(saucily).

You looked at the clock only a minute ago, and I'm sure Abe's supper is as easily seen as the clock is! Easier, too, if you happen to be glancing that way. I wish that Nancy would hurry!

TOM
(as they seat themselves about fire).

And I wish that Abe would hurry. He must be trying for luck.

POLLY.
