"Did you ever see her near by?"
"No, I guess I haven't. I have heard Duke tell about her."
"What? do tell me."
"Oh, she's a horrid old thing that is all I know."
"How, horrid?"
"Why, she is wicked, and she don't know anything. She would hardly listen to Marmaduke when he wanted to talk to her."
"Has she got a Bible, I wonder?" said Daisy, in an awestruck voice.
"She? She can't read. She don't know anything; and she is as ugly and cross as she can be."
"Was she cross to Mr. Dinwiddie?"
"Yes, indeed. He said he never saw such a crabbed old thing.
Oh, she's horrid. I don't like to ride by that way."
