Marget had a basket upon her arm. "It is full of silk and cotton scraps for Julia's quilts. The day I met you in Alder I begged of two or three friends and they gave me all this! It is Julia's intense industry and happiness, piecing quilts."
"Who is Julia?"
"Mimy's lame daughter. Lame in her body and just a little lame in her mind."
"Where does Just So come in?"
"Oh, he's Susan's! Susan has been away upon a visit, but she's home again. Zinia is Mimy's niece, and Jim is her grandson. Mimy and her husband, old Uncle Jack, who is dead, 'belonged,' as they call it, to the Lindens. When Richard bought Sweet Rocket she was living in Alder, and she rode over in a wagon one day and told him she wanted to come home—just like me!" said Marget, with a happy laugh. "The old cabins were tumbling down. Richard built her a real house. He said that any who came and said, 'This is home'—" Her dark eyes looked afar to the valley rim.
"Where does Mancy live?"
"Over there, behind the big field. He and Delia, his wife, and William, who is Roger Carter's right-hand man."
Mimy, in the kitchen, was singing:
"Roll, Jordan, roll!
I want to go to heaven to hear Jordan roll.
