[Freckles by Gene Stratton-Porter]@TWC D-Link bookFreckles CHAPTER VIII 15/31

They'll drive away the birds and spoil the cathedral.

Then the landowners will dig a few ditches, build some fires, and in two summers more the Limberlost will be in corn and potatoes." They looked at each other, and groaned despairingly in unison.
