The Light in the Clearing

CHAPTER III
2/12

In the morning he said that he could come the next Tuesday night, if we needed him, and set out right after breakfast, in the dim dawn light, to walk to Canton.
"Peabody Baynes," said my Aunt Deel as she stood looking out of the window at Mr.Wright, "that is one of the grandest, splendidest men that I ever see or heard of.

He's an awful smart man, an' a day o' his time is worth more'n a month of our'n, but he comes away off here to set up with a sick young one and walks back.

Does beat all--don't it ?--ayes!" "If any one needs help Sile Wright is always on hand," said Uncle Peabody.
I was soon out of bed and he came no more to sit up with me.
When I was well again Aunt Deel said one day "Peabody Baynes, I ain't heard no preachin' since Mr Pangborn died.

I guess we better go down to Canton to meetin' some Sunday.

If there ain't no minister Sile Wright always reads a sermon, if he's home, and the paper says he don't go 'way for a month yit.
