"Hear, Mrs. Pashuns, my rabbit rattles!"
"Yes," I said, "he is full of little eggs."
"Will I have to break him to get at them? Fur I'd ruther not get um than to break him."
When I showed him how to take the head off, his content was complete.
Got home just before dark, tired and very hungry after the eighteen-mile drive and the two services, but having thoroughly enjoyed the day. It was very pleasant that it was our rector's day with us, so that I drove him out to the church and back instead of taking the drive alone.
Cherokee, April 4.
I am worrying as to how I am going to get seed rice. Some hands want to plant a field of rice, and it seems to me I ought not to be behind them in faith. If they are willing to risk their work, I ought to be willing to risk the seed rice. But the question is where to get it.
The great destruction of rice by the floods last summer has made seed rice very scarce and very high, and of course no one will be willing to sell it except for cash. However, I have promised to try and get it for the hands who want to plant Vareen.
