Excerpt from Cracker Joe
Oh, yes, you are everything to me, said his wife, with a smile.
It was a Winsome face, that of Lucy Carew, fair, childlike; the softly-rounded cheeks bright yet with the bloom of youth, the brown eyes thick-lashed, bronze-gold hair so abundant that when uncoiled it hung nearly to her feet.

Excerpt from Cracker Joe
Cracker Joe had sold the old Fenn house at last. The place had been an eyesore to the small community of Wild Rose for a year, with its broken fences, battered gates, and hingeless doors.
"N' I tell you, Luce, that the folks is quality, 'n' no mistake. Fur's I can learn, the man has been a merchant in New York, 'n' failed; business gone to smash, 'n' health all but gone: that's what they tell me."
"How could he buy the Fenn house, then?" his wife asked.
"Oh, he hed a rich brother, 'n' he bought it for him, I s'poze. Likely he'll give it to him; I shouldn't wonder."
"How good it must seem to have a brother!"
Mrs. Carew said, stopping her work to smooth out the edges. "I never had brother or sister."
