"And don't she care if you want it on the sideboard setting, Danny?"
"She said she'd save up and buy me a cut-glass pitcher to take its place."
"Well, to think you haven't the dare to have your own owl on the sideboard setting when you want it, Danny! We'll see once if you can't!"
She suddenly strode to the door leading into the kitchen and pulled it open.
"Amanda, go up to the garret and fetch down the blue owl pitcher you took up there."
"When Missus sends me."
"Danny!" Jennie appealed to her brother, "do you hear the impudence she give me?"
"Amanda," Daniel commanded, stepping to the door, "go up to the garret and fetch down that blue glass pitcher as my sister tells you to do."
"Missus told me to pack it away in the garret and I done it. When she tells me to unpack it, I'll unpack it. Not till."
"Amanda," said Daniel, looking white and obstinate, "you'll go upstairs and bring down that owl, or you'll pack your things and leave this house."
