“I’ll have Olive bring your warm milk up in an hour, Mother.” Mrs. Trent sidled out of the room.

“I’m going to get a fractious head if I have to strain so to listen.” Mrs. Weldon patted the seat of the chair next to her. “Come closer. Sit here.”

Though she is scarcely dressed in silk, I sense a fellow samurai in the room. One who knows that the carrot, not the rod, makes the donkey move.

Willie Mae eased across the room like she would in the presence of a skittish animal and lightly perched on the edge of the chair, all the while reading. She stumbled a few times, which triggered some thorny words from Mrs. Weldon, but they hardly counted for anything. Pap would’ve said this little old lady was all growl and no snap. Willie Mae would have to pinch herself when she went to bed this night. Imagine, getting paid to read Tom Sawyer! Wait till she wrote Theo!
