A lot more documents came from the government to-day—all about pigs. And we haven't got a decent house to live in! If we could only build on that pretty bit of high ground I've had picked out for three years, Rosie would quit havin' these sick spells.
Jim
How is she, mother?
Mary
I b'lieve she's a little better. Jim, have you got any money left from sellin' the car?
Jim
You know we had to pay the interest at the bank first of all, and the rest went for fertilizer.
Mary
I miss the car more on Rosie's account than mine. She's been cryin' for a ride this morning. I didn't know what to say. And I had to promise her she could go to the picnic if she got well. That'll mean a pretty dress, and hat and shoes.
