Better
and
better
.
Why
,
I
'm
just
around
the
corner
on
Wallace
Street
.
I
do
n't
like
my
boardinghouse
,
though
.
It
's
bleak
and
lonesome
,
and
my
room
looks
out
on
such
an
unholy
back
yard
.
It
's
the
ugliest
place
in
the
world
.
As
for
cats
--
well
,
surely
ALL
the
Kingsport
cats
ca
n't
congregate
there
at
night
,
but
half
of
them
must
.
I
adore
cats
on
hearth
rugs
,
snoozing
before
nice
,
friendly
fires
,
but
cats
in
back
yards
at
midnight
are
totally
different
animals
.
The
first
night
I
was
here
I
cried
all
night
,
and
so
did
the
cats
.
You
should
have
seen
my
nose
in
the
morning
.
How
I
wished
I
had
never
left
home
!
"
212
"
I
do
n't
know
how
you
managed
to
make
up
your
mind
to
come
to
Redmond
at
all
,
if
you
are
really
such
an
undecided
person
,
"
said
amused
Priscilla
.
213
"
Bless
your
heart
,
honey
,
I
did
n't
.
It
was
father
who
wanted
me
to
come
here
.

His
heart
was
set
on
it
--
why
,
I
do
n't
know
.
It
seems
perfectly
ridiculous
to
think
of
me
studying
for
a
B.A.
degree
,
does
n't
it
?
Not
but
what
I
can
do
it
,
all
right
.
I
have
heaps
of
brains
.
"
215
"
Oh
!
"
said
Priscilla
vaguely
.
216
"
Yes
.
But
it
's
such
hard
work
to
use
them
.
And
B.A.
'
s
are
such
learned
,
dignified
,
wise
,
solemn
creatures
--
they
must
be
.
No
,
I
did
n't
want
to
come
to
Redmond
.
I
did
it
just
to
oblige
father
.
He
IS
such
a
duck
.
Besides
,
I
knew
if
I
stayed
home
I
'd
have
to
get
married
.
Mother
wanted
that
--
wanted
it
decidedly
.
Mother
has
plenty
of
decision
.
But
I
really
hated
the
thought
of
being
married
for
a
few
years
yet
.
I
want
to
have
heaps
of
fun
before
I
settle
down
.
And
,
ridiculous
as
the
idea
of
my
being
a
B.A.
is
,
the
idea
of
my
being
an
old
married
woman
is
still
more
absurd
,
is
n't
it
?
I
'm
only
eighteen
.
No
,
I
concluded
I
would
rather
come
to
Redmond
than
be
married
.
Besides
,
how
could
I
ever
have
made
up
my
mind
which
man
to
marry
?
"
217
"
Were
there
so
many
?
"
laughed
Anne

Heaps
.
The
boys
like
me
awfully
--
they
really
do
.
But
there
were
only
two
that
mattered
.
The
rest
were
all
too
young
and
too
poor
.
I
must
marry
a
rich
man
,
you
know
.
"
219
"
Why
must
you
?
"
220
"
Honey
,
you
could
n't
imagine
ME
being
a
poor
man
's
wife
,
could
you
?
I
ca
n't
do
a
single
useful
thing
,
and
I
am
VERY
extravagant
.
Oh
,
no
,
my
husband
must
have
heaps
of
money
.
So
that
narrowed
them
down
to
two
.
But
I
could
n't
decide
between
two
any
easier
than
between
two
hundred
.
I
knew
perfectly
well
that
whichever
one
I
chose
I
'd
regret
all
my
life
that
I
had
n't
married
the
other
.
