Miss Emily didn't come down to breakfast neither.

I'll tell Mrs.Barnes you're here." When Thankful came she looked grave enough.
"I'm awful glad to see you, Cap'n," she said.

"I've been wantin' to talk to some sane person; the one I've been talkin' to ain't sane, not now.
Come into the dinin'-room.

Imogene, you needn't finish clearin' away till I tell you to.

You stay in the kitchen here." When she and Captain Obed were in the dining-room alone, and with both doors closed, Thankful told of the morning's happenings.
"They're bad enough, too," she declared.
