Mother says you can't tell a thing at the growing age about how a girl is going to look at eighteen.
When everything was almost ready, Leon came in one day and said: "Shelley, what about improving your hair?
Have you tried your wild grape sap yet ?" Shelley said: "Why, goodness me! We've been so busy getting Sally married, and my clothes made, I forgot all about that.

Have you noticed the crock in passing?
Is there anything in it ?" "It was about half full, once when I went by," said Leon.

"I haven't seen it lately." "Do please be a dear and look, when you go after the cows this evening," said Shelley.

"If there's anything in it, bring it up." "Do it yourself for want of me, The boy replied quite manfully," quoted Leon from "The Little Lord and the Farmer." He was always teasing.
"I think you're mean as dirt if you don t bring it," said Shelley.
Leon grinned and you should have heard the nasty, teasing way he said more of that same piece: "Anger and pride are both unwise, Vinegar never catches flies----" I wondered she didn't slap him.

You could see she wanted to.
