Excerpt from Miss. Billy: A Neighborhood Story
Some idle wind, with a passing slap. Made rickety shutter or shingle flap.
Arch had gone out like a roar ing lion, and April had slipped demurely in, armed with a pot of green paint and a scrubbing brush. There was not much to paint in Cherry Street. A few sparse blades of grass, tenacious of life, clung here and there to curbstone and door yard; but there was plenty to scrub, and the Spring maid fell to with a will.
