The claim on Hunker Creek took toll from
its possessors. Tiny had been caught in a
sudden turn of weather, like poor Johnson.

little feet that used to trip about Black Hawk
in pointed slippers and striped stockings.
Tiny mentioned this mutilation quite casu-
ally -- didn't seem sensitive about it. She
was satisfied with her success, but not elated.
She was like some one in whom the faculty
of becoming interested is worn out.
