Food and a human being to talk to! A lovely, self-reliant American girl, able to take care of herself.

Magnificent eyes--slate blue, with thick, velvety black lashes.

Irish.
In a moment Kitty had three eggs and half a dozen strips of bacon frying in a fresh pan.

She kept one eye upon the pan and the other upon the intruder, risking strabismus.

At length she transferred the contents of the pan to a plate, backed to the ice chest, and reached for a bottle of milk.
