She
has
a
running
bill
here
.
Her
father
settles
once
a
month
.
She
gives
nine
-
tenths
of
it
away
.
Hardly
ever
touches
it
herself
,
but
when
she
does
she
makes
me
mix
it
.
She
’
s
just
old
persimmons
.
Even
the
scrub
-
boy
of
this
establishment
would
fight
for
her
.
It
lasts
the
year
round
,
for
in
winter
it
’
s
some
poor
,
frozen
cuss
that
she
’
s
warming
up
on
hot
coffee
or
chocolate
.
”
“
Mighty
queer
specimen
she
had
this
time
,
”
volunteered
another
.
“
Irish
,
hand
off
,
straight
as
a
ramrod
,
and
something
worth
while
in
his
face
.
Notice
that
hat
peel
off
,
and
the
eyes
of
him
?
There
’
s
a
case
of
’
fight
for
her
!
’
Wonder
who
he
is
?
”
“
I
think
,
”
said
a
third
,
“
that
he
’
s
McLean
’
s
Limberlost
guard
,
and
I
suspect
she
’
s
gone
to
the
swamp
with
the
Bird
Woman
for
pictures
and
knows
him
that
way
.
I
’
ve
heard
that
he
is
a
master
hand
with
the
birds
,
and
that
would
just
suit
the
Bird
Woman
to
a
T
.
”
On
the
street
the
Angel
walked
beside
Freckles
to
the
first
crossing
and
there
she
stopped
.
“
Now
,
will
you
promise
to
ride
fast
enough
to
make
up
for
the
five
minutes
that
took
?
”
she
asked
.
“
I
am
a
little
uneasy
about
Mrs
.
Duncan
.
”
Freckles
turned
his
wheel
into
the
street
.
It
seemed
to
him
he
had
poured
that
delicious
icy
liquid
into
every
vein
in
his
body
instead
of
his
stomach
.
It
even
went
to
his
brain
.
“
Did
you
insist
on
fixing
that
drink
because
you
knew
how
intoxicating
’
twould
be
?
”
he
asked
.
There
was
subtlety
in
the
compliment
and
it
delighted
the
Angel
.
She
laughed
gleefully
.
“
Next
time
,
maybe
you
won
’
t
take
so
much
coaxing
,
”
she
teased
“
I
wouldn
’
t
this
,
if
I
had
known
your
father
and
been
understanding
you
better
.
Do
you
really
think
the
Bird
Woman
will
be
coming
again
?
”
The
Angel
jeered
.
“
Wild
horses
couldn
’
t
drag
her
away
,
”
she
cried
.
“
She
will
have
hard
work
to
wait
the
week
out
.
I
shouldn
’
t
be
in
the
least
surprised
to
see
her
start
any
hour
.
”
