I heard him ask my age and I heard Cousin Rachel lie about it.

I was allowed to sit up when the conductor was gone, and I sat up and looked out of the window and saw everything, and was perfectly, perfectly happy.

I was fond of my cousin, and I smiled at her in perfect understanding and admiration of her cleverness in beating the railroad company.
I knew then, as I know now, beyond a doubt, that my Uncle David's daughter was an honorable woman.

With the righteous she dealt squarely; with the unjust, as best she could.

She was in duty bound to make all the money she could, for money was her only protection in the midst of the enemy.
