Chapter XV
THE GIRL AND THE CHURN. The next morning Lou was churning out in the yard and near her Mrs. Mayfield sat, sewing. The scene was inspiring. Off to the right flowed the blue creek, and everywhere were the hills, softly purple in the distance. "Things look so lonesome since poor mammy died," said the girl.
