Chapter Twelve

James could tell the minute he opened his eyes that things were okay again between Karl and Anna. For one thing, today was the first day Karl hadn't risen before Anna and gone outside to keep out of the way while she got up and washed and dressed. When James opened his eyes and stretched to look over his shoulder, he found both his sister and brother-in-law tucked up in bed yet. They were whispering, and James thought he heard giggles. A pleasant sense of security enfolded the boy. It was always terrible when things were strained between Karl and Anna. But today, James knew, would be one of those good, good days he liked best.

Karl was at the moment lying nose to nose with his wife. He had her by both breasts. “There is not a handful in both of these together,” he was whispering.

“You didn't seem to mind last night,” she whispered back.

“Did I say I minded?”

She faked a heavy Swedish accent and whispered, “If you-u-u vant a vife who-o-o is shaped like a moo-o-ose and has bu-u-u-soms like vatermelons, you vill haff to go back to Sveden. This vun has only two-o-o little blu-u-u-berries.”

Karl had to put his face somewhere to stifle the laughter, so he plunged it into her two little bu-u-soms.

“But, Anna, I told you, blueberries are my favorite,” he said when he was able.

“You-u-u don't foo-o-o-l me! I know you-u-u!”

“A man cannot help having a favorite.”

“Ya, favorite, says this foo-o-o-l. He should remember that if he did not have hands like sou-u-u-p plates, they would be fu-u-u-ll right now!”

Another spasm of laughter grabbed Karl. Beneath his hands, he felt Anna's breasts bounce with laughter, too. “And if you were not so busy being smart to your new husband, you might have your hands full, too.” He captured her hand and placed it upon his genitals.

“Ya, su-u-u-re,” Anna said, her Swedish accent beautiful by this time, “like I said, he is a foo-o-o-l. Vith the sun up and his brother-in-law on the floor, he vakes up like a ripe cu-u-u-cumber!”

This time they couldn't keep it quiet any more. They laughed in audible snorts while Karl engulfed Anna in his big, powerful arms and they rolled back and forth, bubbling over with joy.

“What are you two doing up there?” James asked from the floor.

“We are talking about gardening,” Karl answered.

“So early in the morning?” James wasn't misled. He knew things were going to be great around here from now on!

“Ya. I was just telling Anna how much I love blueberries and she was telling me how she loves cu—” The rest of Karl's word was muffled as Anna clapped her hand over Karl's mouth.

Then James heard more giggling, and the cornhusks snapping like they'd never snapped before, and many grunts and sounds of playful battle. But James wisely kept his back to the bed as he got up and went outside to the washbench. He was smiling from ear to ear.
