Read the excerpt from “The Scarlet Ibis.”Doodle was frightened of being left. “Don’t go leave me, Brother,” he cried, and he leaned toward the coffin. His hand, trembling, reached out, and when he touched the casket he screamed. A screech owl flapped out of the box into our faces, scaring us and covering us with Paris green. Doodle was paralyzed, so I put him on my shoulder and carried him down the ladder, and even when we were outside in the bright sunshine, he clung to me, crying, “Don’t leave me. Don’t leave me.”
Read the excerpt from "Daughter of Invention".But Laura had gotten used to the life here.

Better an independent nobody than a high-class houseslave. She did not come straight out and disagree with her husband's plans.

"The Times is not that bad!" she'd claim if her husband tried to humor her by saying they shared the same dirty habit.
