A nd there's scarcely enough as there is. For thirty cakes." The kitchen is growing dark. Dusk turns the

window into a mirror: our reflections mingle with the rising moon as we work by the fireside in the fi-

relight. A t last, when the moon is quite high, we toss the final hull into the fire and, with joined

sighs, watch it catch flame. The buggy is empty, the bowl is brimful.

We eat our supper (cold biscuits, bacon, blackberry jam) and discuss tomorrow. Tomorrow the kind of

work I like best begins: buying. Cherries and citron, ginger and vanilla and canned Hawaiian pine- ap-

ple, rinds and raisins and walnuts and whiskey and oh, so much flour, butter, so many eggs, spices,

flavorings: why, we'll need a pony to pull the buggy home.

But before these Purchases can be made, there is the question of money. Neither of us has any. Except

for skin- flint sums persons in the house occasionally provide (a dime is considered very big money);

or what we earn ourselves from various activities: holding rummage sales, selling buckets of hand- pi-

cked blackberries, jars of home- made jam and apple jelly and peach preserves, rounding up flowers for

funerals and weddings. Once we won seventy- ninth prize, five dollars, in a national football contest.

Not that we know a fool thing about football. It's just that we enter any contest we hear about: at the

momentmoment our hopes are centered on the fifty- thousand- dollar Grand Prize being offered to name a new

brand of coffee (we suggested "A .M."; and, after some hesitation, for my friend thought it perhaps sa-

crilegious, the slogan "A .M.! A men!"). To tell the truth, our only really profitable enterprise was the

Fun and Freak Museum we conducted in a back- yard woodshed two summers ago. The Fun was a stereopticon

with slide views of Washington and New York lent us by a relative who had been to those places (she

was furious when she discovered why we'd borrowed it); the Freak was a three- legged biddy chicken

hatched by one of our own hens. Every body hereabouts wanted to see that biddy: we charged grown ups

a nickel, kids two cents. A nd took in a good twenty dollars before the museum shut down due to the de-

cease of the main attraction.

But one way and another we do each year accumulate Christmas savings, a Fruitcake Fund. These moneys

we keep hidden in an ancient bead purse under a loose board under the floor under a chamber pot under

my friend's bed. The purse is seldom removed from this safe location except to make a deposit or, as

happens every Saturday, a withdrawal; for on Saturdays I am allowed ten cents to go to the picture

show. My friend has never been to a picture show, nor does she intend to: "I'd rather hear you tell the

story, Buddy. That way I can imagine it more. Besides, a person my age shouldn't squander their eyes.

WhenWhen the Lord comes, let me see him clear." In addition to never having seen a movie, she has never:

eaten in a restaurant, traveled more than five miles from home, received or sent a telegram, read

anything except funny papers and the Bible, worn cosmetics, cursed, wished someone harm, told a lie on

purpose, let a hungry dog go hungry. Here are a few things she has done, does do: killed with a hoe the

biggest rattlesnake ever seen in this county (sixteen rattles), dip snuff (secretly), tame hummingbirds

(just try it) till they balance on her finger, tell ghost stories (we both believe in ghosts) so tingling

they chill you in July, talk to herself, take walks in the rain, grow the prettiest japonicas in town, they chill you in July, talk to herself, take walks in the rain, grow the prettiest japonicas in town,

know the recipe for every sort of oldtime Indian cure, including a magical wart remover.

Now, with supper finished, we retire to the room in a faraway part of the house where my friend sleeps

in a scrap- quilt- covered iron bed painted rose pink, her favorite color. Silently, wallowing in the

pleasures of conspiracy, we take the bead purse from its secret place and spill its contents on the

scrap quilt. Dollar bills, tightly rolled and green as May buds. Somber fifty- cent pieces, heavy

enough to weight a dead man's eyes. Lovely dimes, the liveliest coin, the one that really jingles. Ni-

ckels and quarters, worn smooth as creek pebbles. But mostly a hateful heap of bitter- odored pennies.

LastLast summer others in the house contracted to pay us a penny for every twenty- five flies we killed.

Oh, the carnage of A ugust: the flies that flew to heaven! Yet it was not work in which we took pride.

A nd, as we sit counting pennies, it is as though we were back tabulating dead flies.
