Searcy stood in the kitchen, waiting for the coffee to perk. The heat of the warming pot felt good to her hands, for the late September morning held a chill that warned of the winter to come. It was the day of Copper’s dinner party for her friend Isaac, and Searcy was thinking of the ham soaking in a lard bucket beside the stove. She needed to pour the water off and replace it with fresh yet again so it wouldn’t be too salty when she baked it. Soon enough, right after breakfast, she thought as she opened the back door. Then them beaten biscuits needs starting.

She discovered a pasteboard box as she reached for the broom to sweep the porch. What was a dirty old box doing on her clean porch? Full of cats, she figured, hearing the mewling sound coming from inside the box with its crisscrossed flaps. Wonder if Mr. Doctor wants to pick one for the barn before Reuben gunnysacks the rest. Best take care of them before Miz Corbett sees. Else we be having cats living in the kitchen, sleeping on the beds, they long tails twining round Searcy’s legs.

She swept around the box, clearing the fallen leaves that had collected on the porch overnight. “Don’t know why folks can’t take care of they own discards.”
