"Well, I thought so. Valley Road is noted for its good-looking
schoolma'ams, just as Millersville is noted for its humly ones. Janet
Sweet asked me this morning if I could bring you out. I said, 'Sartin
I kin, if she don't mind being scrunched up some. This rig of mine's
kinder small for the mail bags and I'm some heftier than Thomas!' Just
wait, miss, till I shift these bags a bit and I'll tuck you in somehow.
It's only two miles to Janet's. Her next-door neighbor's hired boy is
coming for your trunk tonight. My name is Skinner--Amelia Skinner."
